One of my Favorites

Below is one of my favorite photographs. Its one of Candace taken during a gym class. Its not so much my favorite because its of Candace, although it is part of it, but because of her "pose". I love how she is exhibiting both eagerness and a touch of shyness. Arms/hands held down but a grin on the face... her left foot (on right as you look at it) slightly sideways.

On the back the photo is labeled Candace First Grade 1988. She would have been 7 yrs old.

Its interesting to note that a person's body type at this age is not an indicator of how it will be in adulthood. I have another "favorite" photo of my #2 daughter at about this age. She's very shy looking, slender, looking a bit like a refuge (she was playing hard that day). She's definitely not shy and she is not slender. But she's still beautiful.

I can see why you like this picture...it's really cool! Was Candace tall for her age, just because she looks tall compared to the girl behind her.

CC - she's beautiful! I remember that age......feeling shy....but silly too.

You were blessed with daughters, ugh? Nice. I had the boys then my daughter. My daughter checks on me all of the time.....and I love that. The boys think that mom is some sort of supermom and can do anything....they don't seem to worry too much.....my fault though.

Looking forward to more pics of your grandkids.
