My baby girl...

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the future. ~Author Unknown

Ok.. Here goes day 1 of blogging!! :-)

Aleena received a camera for Christmas this year and I've enjoyed looking at the pictures she takes on it.

Recently she took it to my moms house with her, and as a typical teenager,

she photographed herself! 

Here are a few pictures she took..

Obviously I'm a little biased..

but I think she's turning into a gorgeous

young lady! 

So hard to believe that she'll be 12 in July..

Time sure does fly by! 

Today she had to go to the DR and get blood work done for the first time and seemed to do really well with it.  She has what appears to be an enlarged lymph node in her armpit, she's had a lump there for a few weeks, but it appears to be getting bigger and causing some discomfort.  It's still nothing you can see, you only know its there when you touch it.  She goes in on Feb 10th for an Ultrasound on it as well!
