She Is Our Glue

IMG_6337
This one.
She is our glue.
Her sisters don't know it yet.
But she is.

She makes us laugh.
She drives us crazy.
And then she makes us laugh again.
Which is good
because really it's the only reason she is still alive : )

She is our hypochondriac.
She is an athlete.
She is smart.
She is fast.
She is beautiful.
IMG_6332 She often doesn't have the patience to have her picture taken.
That is why she is less known here.
But I want you to know her.
Because she is just that awesome.

Middlest is our glue.
Stuck in the middle.
Holding us all together.
IMG_6326 Like the best part of an Oreo.
Making the ordinary... extra special.

xoxo,
Sweet Shot Day

  4. What a heartfelt tribute -- and one she will treasure for the rest of her life!

    I went through an incredibly prolific writing period when my children were small. I wrote a large volume of essays and poems about them -- words that I go back now and read and that bring me such happiness. Your ode today inspires me to do it more often. Thank you for the important reminder.

  5. I've heard many times from my sister, the middle sister, how difficult it is to be in the middle. What a beautiful tribute to your middle daughter.

  8. So true! I would describe my middle that way as well. She is the calm one, the quiet one, the brilliant one, the judge, that jury, the athlete, the artist, the cook, the Martha and is the one that keeps our family balanced and sane!

  19. Get her in front of the camera as often as possible! We rarely have photos of this self-conscious time in our lives, but she will treasure them one day.
