I have a whole bunch of pictures like this in our family library...
I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd History's pages,
And Time's great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel there is a union
'Twixt Nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill God's grand design.
I live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

She has hair!!! SO CUTE!
Wow- she is a looker!!! You know me; I think the real life pictures are just as cute as the poses. I'd print that 1st one up big- it is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!
(doesn't she kind of remind you of bradgelina's kid in that second one?)
heck ya she is! I'm with Mella, I like the real life pictures!
that little dress is so sweet! She is beautiful!
So sweet.
You should use a dust-filled nasty stuffed animal. It works for the lady at Walmart.
She is beautiful no doubt. Too bad you su__ at photography. Scott's comment is funny
I know, right? Please, please, PLEASE, please, please smile, Anna! Oh wait, I mean Jane. Oh well. We know they actually do smile in life, whether or not the smiles are captured.
My, how that little girl has grown up! She's lovely, Patti. And the photos are priceless! Hope all is well with you and your little family. Love, Sandra
