Parenting isn’t always Rainbows and Ice Cream. It’s isn’t always Sunshine and Smiles.
But you know what? A lot of the time it is.
Especially when you convince your beautiful thirteen-year-old daughter to pose for you. 
As my children get older, their stories are no longer my stories to tell. I realize, there stories were never my stories, but as a parent I shared my thoughts and emotions and stories from my perspective. For now, with a house full of teens (we have SEVEN at the moment) I try very hard to respect their personal space.
So, for today, I share a visual story of a beautiful girl who I love with all of my heart.
Avi is, as always, full of energy and life. He smile can (and does) light up a room. I feel so honored to be her mom.
Avi has an unstoppable love of PIGS.
