You better watch out ...

Katie Farewell is comin' to town. Tomorrow. So I have one more day to look at pictures before I get to see the real thing. Here are a few of my all time favorites (Rob helped me figure out how to get blogger to show them). Classics from childhood. The kind of pictures you know the moment that you take them are destined to become 8x10 glossies, strategically positioned around the house when she finally braves bringing date home to meet the family.

Katie the cowgirl. Isn't she sweet in pink? This was taken when she was 5 and a kindergartener. Yee Haw girlfriend!




Crazy hair day in 6th Grade. I think we were up at 5:30 am that day to create this divine look. Boy, did she have second thoughts when she pulled up to school & didn't see one other crazy hair creation. She thought she had the wrong day. Luckily she was right about the day & had a few friends who joined in, but she was definitely the craziest! Dig the polo shirt! This was Katie's uniform for 3 years. She hated polo shirts so much when she finally left middle school that she swore she would never wear another one again.




Katie & the Hockey years, or should I say decade! This was taken when she was on the all boys Squirt Teal Team. This was the group that drove to Calgary for a weekend tournament. People who weren't in hockey used to tell us that we were crazy. Truth be told, they were right.



And my personal favorite. Katie Oh Natural! She was one at the time & not a self conscious bone in her body. She doesn't pose like this for the camera anymore, & as her Mom, I must say that I am quite glad of that. But remembering her days of innocence when she trusted me completely, even when I had a camera, is fun. Look at that face. She had no idea how I would post this picture on the world wide web for the whole planet to view. Love you Katie!!!
