Is this the little girl I carried?

If you've seen the Broadway play, Fiddler on the Roof, you know that the scene of Tevye and Golde singing "Sunrise, Sunset" is one of the sweetest/most memorable scenes in the play.  At one of their daughter's wedding, they reflect on how it was just yesterday their daughter and her spouse were running around like children, playing, laughing, and unnoticeably growing older. (My mom always told me she was going to sing it at my wedding, sorry mom :) maybe Kendra's?!)

My little sister is not getting married yet, but she is a senior in high school and I'm like, "WHEN DID SHE TURN INTO THIS GORGEOUS YOUNG ADULT?" 

That's the thing with having a sibling so much younger than you, you remember every step of their life.  From when my parents announced a new baby was on the way, to the first night she came home from the hospital and I woke up in the middle of the night to find my mom rocking her.  I remember sitting with them in the dark living room adoring this new "blessing" hehe :)

(Sigh) 

And here she is about the graduate High School. Really?!?

And once again, the ridiculously talented Kristine Neeley has captured some of the most gorgeous photos for her Senior Pictures. 

sing along with me.... :)

"Is this the little girl I carried?" (On my hip of course)

"Is this the little girl at play?"

(my absolute FAVORITE!)

"I don't remember growing older"

"when did she?"

"When did she get to be a beauty?"

"When did she grow to be so tall?"

"Wasn't it yesterday,

she was small

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

  

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears"
