Photos of the soon-to-be 10 year old!

You are so very lovely!  Even though you wouldn't humor me with "jumping" photos under my gorgeous trees, I still got this great sequence of you being your beautiful self.  Turning 10 finds you tall and slim.  You're already over 5 feet tall and just a few inches shy of my height!  You are a wee bit boy crazy, but still not interested in coming your hair -- or heaven forbid, letting me do pretty girlie things to it!  You've got a pretty smattering of freckles about your face and an infection energy that is relentless. Your sense of humor makes us smile regularly - and you are a kind hearted child who is so sweet to those younger than you.  (Which most of the time, even includes your brother!) I hope you remain comfortable with yourself and are as confident as you are today for an eternity.  We love you Doodle bop.  Keep being you!
