12/23/2005 2:35:50 PM

Just looking at it makes you so happy!!! You know the old addage that you know you're getting old when you get down on your knees (or belly) to pick something up and then look for whatever else you can pick up at the same time? Well, it's true with photography too! Thanks for sharing the picture of your daughter--she looks like a gem.
