A Special Kind of Mom

While looking for Mom pictures to post — I came across these of my sister-n-law and niece, Aleta and Elizabeth (Lizzy).

Keith (my brother) and Aleta were given a God’s hand opportunity to adopt 3 wild and wonderful kiddos a few years ago. They were ages 2,3,&4 at the time-can you say parent shock! The younger picture was taken the summer they got the kids and the later this past fall. It’s been so neat to watch them grow.

Comparing the two images really  capture the transition: First, the new mom and daughter relationship where Lizzy was still wary of her new doting relatives-esp. Aunt Amy who kept trying to take her picture all the time! And then the recent photo where she is “at home” a bright, confident little lady who is  quite happy to be a “model”!
