a few new arika pictures :)

i don't know how these could possibly, upon seeing them, touch your heart in the same way they do mine but i absolutely adore this four (soon to be five!) year old girl and hope you at least semi-enjoy these postings, too!

a dork-tastic picture of me concentrating exceptionally hard on a preschool activity but a cutey of arika proudly celebrating a mini-accomplishment!

head, shoulders, knees and toes!!

learning about rhymes, thanks doc seuss.

gosh, she's got a tight grip on a chunk of my heart!
