Taking the Scenic Route

She is off center because she is looking at herself in the viewfinder of the camera and I am having to work to keep her from touching the lense and grabbing the camera…so, not the best shots, but shows how animated she can be.

And, I’ll finish with a sweet story…

Today was a rough day for the grown-ups.  Zach spent the day in drs. offices having some tests done on his leg (not a blood clot and not diabetes…probably just a pinched nerve, but will talk to the dr. again tomorrow morning).  I had the world’s worst headache.  The kids were being, well, kids.  Loud, demanding, and all at once it was too much for me.  The headache started crossing the thresh hold into migraine and I went downstairs and laid in bed, with the lights off, trying to find a quiet dark place. 

Zora followed me into the room.  It was everything I could muster to patiently tell her that “Mama doesn’t feel very good”, and she asked if I was “Owie” and I said “Yes, Mama Owie”.  She left, and I let out a sigh of relief.  A few minutes later she was wiggling the handle and noisily made her way back into the room.  I was so irritated and working my darndest to not get snippy with her, when I saw her come up next to my bed, trying to get a band-aid out of a package.  She pulled it out, and carefully put it on my forehead, then gave me a kiss.  I about cried from the sweetness.  I think I’ll keep her.
