My Majellyn is growing so much that, to be honest, I can envision her as a teenager and even an adult in vivid color and detail. She is absolutely gorgeous, and that assessment is free of motherly bias. It's just true. Andy fears that within an unimagineably short period of time he will have to take shooting lessons from my brothers just to protect her from the hoard of boys who will be beating down our door for a chance to be with her. It's always scary when you see your kids growing faster than you feel you are prepared for, but with Majellyn it's both terrifying and thrilling. I am so very, fiercely proud to be her mother. I think she is awesome in every way, and I know that she will be a formidable, enchanting, powerhouse of a woman. I hope she will still love me then and remember that at least part of her came from me. I am proud to claim a piece of her as my own and hope she isn't ashamed of me when she is smarter, prettier and stronger than I have ever been.

Maji is truly beautiful! But, she's a bum because she hasn't called me to work on her next "goal" . . . maybe you could inspire her? She is a sweetheart and I'm sad to see her grow so fast too . . . I think I'd keep her my 3-year-old buddy if I had my way :) Remember how she used to call me her "dear"? So cute!
Maji is very beautiful, but I like it best when she hugs me and we read together. It seems so strange because it wasn't really all that long ago that I read to my grandma. She lookes so old on Sunday that I nearly cried.
Papa says you are right, our Maji looks just darling. I am so glad you caught that happy smile! Love it, love it, and love it.
