Pink cowboy boots + pink tutu + pink cowboy hat = Lyla.

I found my pink cowboy hat today while putting away some laundry  … and then I remembered I had a fun little pair of pink cowboy boots that would JUST fit Lyla right now …

So – this is what you get when you have five minutes between putting away never ending loads of laundry and a fun-loving three year old with cowboy boots!

If any of you have been following my blog for a while yet, you will know all about Lyla. She’s our creator of adventures, the great explorer (read: escapes from me all the time) toe-testing-line-crosser and big hug giver. Lyla, my middle daughter, often calls me “Your Highness” (which sounds like “Your anus …” with her “accent” Oh joy!!) for the past few weeks now.

My BFF wrote this on my facebook page about Lyla – I thought it was very fitting:


“I think Lyla is going to be a completely FASCINATING and brilliant person…

that kid has more personality than anyone I’ve ever known…

and spunk and confidence and joy.

I think God was in an especially good mood the day he made her little soul Gillian.

She is such a gift. :)”

Amazing pics again Gillian…your girls are so blessed to have their little moments in time captured so vibrantly.
