I’ve already shared a couple of the pictures I took of Tori while she was home.
But I saved a few for today.
These are my favorites… out of the 1,892 that I took.
Because this girl?
Is pretty fun to photograph.
And honestly, she’s just pretty fun.
All around.
Every time she comes home, she melts back in to the family so seamlessly.
It’s almost as if she’s never been gone.
Just a whole lot better.
Because I have a completely new appreciation for her when she’s home now.
Her younger siblings think she’s the coolest person on the planet.
Other than me, of course.
And who wouldn’t?
She gives manicures to the girls.
She rough-houses with the boys.
She still loves a good episode of Sponge-Bob.
And she never refuses a game of Killer Bunnies.
And best of all?
She loves to cook up all sorts of deliciousness.
Like Lemon Squares. And White Chocolate Cheesecake.
I’m holding out hope that once she graduates from college she’ll decide to settle down somewhere very close to her mama.

She is just stunningly beautiful, Stefanie!!! But, for someone who has turned my address book into a scratch pad in the last three years since knowing you, that girl better get her moving shoes on if she's going to live near her mama when she graduates. LOL!! 🙂
Beautiful Sunday Snapshot!
Jenn says
Such a beautiful girl!! It does a mama good to have their babies home with them, even if for a short period, doesn't it?
