The Evolution of a Smile…As Told By My Cell Phone.

Today,while waiting for inspiration to strike (i.e. procrastinating mightily), I decided to flip through the photos on my cell phone. And when I did? I discovered a treasure trove of Tori pictures. Pictures I hadn’t looked at since I took them. Pictures that made my ovaries hurt, seeing how little she was and how much she’s changed.

But then, suddenly, she began looking like a little girl—smile and all.

Where did my silly baby go? Time is moving far too fast…especially when looked at through the lens of a cell phone.
