I just love her.
On the verge of turning 21, she is most definitely growing up.
Finding her own way.
Forming her own opinions.
Whether I like it or not.
As my first child, she has made being a mother ridiculously easy.
Which in turn might have made me a hair over-confident for future mothering endeavors.
Thank goodness I did not know then what I do know now 🙂
TA-RORAH-BOREALIS!!!! Tori looks so beautiful! And I like the ink. Very sweet. Is it a…um…sparrow? Swallow? I'm not too good at identifying my birds. Wish I was there to give it an up close and personal inspection. And play Quiddler. Missing you all and so happy you are all together again under ONE ROOF! Yippee! (Although if it's as hot and muggy there as it is here…ugh….) Much love to you guys! Looooooooooooookiiiiing Goooooooooooooooooood, Miss Tori. Love from Miss Lisa. 🙂 xxoo
Oh my that was precious. Just precious! I always think those few years of transition from care taking mom into guiding/listening/walking alongside you mom are so, so sweet. Looks like your rockin it!
She is stunning. Simply stunning.

Looks like you took your beautiful girl to the beach on a beautiful day.
What a sweet, tender post about your beautiful girl! You done good, momma! 😉

A beautiful post! My oldest is a blond daughter who has also been so easy. The Lord knows what He's doing!
What a great post! Our youngest bio son just turned 21 – and sports a couple tat's too (that was hard to type!!) That looks like really nice work. Tori – you look like a lovely young woman – glad to see all you guys together!
hugs – aus and co.
Oh Tori just keeps getting more beautiful. Apparently she has bypassed the "Freshman 15"..
some girls have all the luck. Or good genes.
So, we've seen Chris' tat and now Tori's – where's yours?
Your daughter is beautiful.
I understand completely how you feel.
I have a daughter that is about the same age.
The joy it brings me when she comes home.
Thanks for sharing about your oldest.
