My oldest child turns 21 today. No longer a child (although she hates when I say that). Although I can remember life before her, I have a hard time remembering a time when I didn’t know her. She’s beautiful. She’s smart. She’s quirky (in a good way). She’s talented. She’s simply amazing. She’s my daughter. Happy 21st birthday, Clare.

And she’s pretty!

I agree, but I am her mom.

Love the photo. Captures the “inside” beauty of Clare. If it weren’t for the object in her hand, this pic could have been snapped a hundred years ago.

Thanks Mindie. I agree. It was a candid shot — she’d just posed with the statue. I do wish the water bottle had been something different — like a feather or flower. Oh well. :-).
