A Lass Three Years in the Making | Zac Jolliffe Photographer

My daughter Tali turns 4 this summer...

... and she'll be off to school in the fall. I've been a tad reflective lately and probably a little moreso yesterday and today. Tali is staying with my mom today, which means I have more time on my hands than usual. Time to do things like this little project.

It's now a week-and-a-half later (writing that first little tidbit was as far as I got that day, which is ironic because it was about having time to get things done... geez louise). I've still been reflective, but I'll spare you all my musings.

Suffice it to say that my baby is now a little girl. She's a mean table gamer, a serious painter and a top-notch momma to all her stuffies. She outsmarts me, outremembers me and questions the living daylights out of me. She's a spinner, slider, flyer and jumper and is mostly not grumpy at bedtime. I love her to bits.

This is how she grew up.
