January 2009

If you would have told me that I would have been trying to recreate this photo in 2018, I would have thought that would be FOREVER in the future. Yet, looking at this photo, I think it seems like only yesterday we went outside to take it. Nine years ago and I remember the day perfectly. My sweet girl was only eleven!

We tried to recreate it this weekend. We were cold. And rushed. And I am sure I will remember this day just as clearly. (I sure hope so!)
