Joy of Love – 3 – Then and Now

 

Yes, it’s the eighth of the month and I’m just getting to #3 in my photography lesson.  I really am not a good “project” person, although there is a reason for this delay that goes beyond simple procrastination and life getting in the way.

Today’s, well, the third lesson in this project was “then and now”.  Since today is exactly one year from the day when I first saw Etta’s face, obviously, she is the subject of today’s project.

A year ago I received Etta’s referral!  Oscar and I were at the Anaheim airport waiting for our flight home from Disneyland and when I went to check to see that my phone was off I noticed that I had missed calls from my agency.  Part of the reason for our quick trip away was that I was going stir crazy from waiting for a referral I had thought would come months ago, so it was a shock to see that I had missed the call not once, but twice.  I hurriedly called my coordinator back and was just able to download this photo, which I stared at for the entire flight.

And here she is today (or yesterday, actually) . . . to say she’s changed a little is an understatement.  Isn’t she the cutest little girl ever?*

*I’ll accept answers in the negative only to concede she may be tied for cutest girl ever with your little girl.

    • I know! I’m telling myself it’s good that I’m just snapping some photos and reading the materials, but I really need to do better.

  2. As I have a boy, I’m willing to call Etta the cutest girl by a long-shot. Those cheeks kill me.
