"Hump Day" with Sofia

Wednesdays tend to be seeing as the "light at the end of the tunnel" because you can see the weekend as an achievable goal. Some Wednesdays are better than others and we are just going to leave it at that. The jury still out on many things, one of them being whether or not I'll win the battle with my nose during allergy season...so far, the nose is winning by a long shot :-(

Today when I got home after a long day, lots of sniffles, a bubble head as a result of congestion and running like a mad woman to make it to doctor's appointments. I needed to decompress in a bad way, so I went to my trusty friend "Mac Baby" and started looking at pictures. I needed inspiration for a layout I want to tackle and luckily I came across a picture that I had totally forgotten I had--and that did it for me.

This adorable creature is Sofia, daughter of a good friend of mine. Sofia was a source of joy to our family the first few years of her life. We used to get her once in a while and spent time with her. Unfortunately now that she is a "big girl" we don't get to see her as often but her stories are timeless.

Sofia is absolutely beautiful and has the mind and vocabulary of a grown up that has gone through Harvard school of communication. When she was about two years old she was telling her Mom that maneuvering the complicated task of trying to go potty while at the beach was "not feasible", her facial expression conveying her level of frustration with the whole interaction.

I wanted to share a little bit of the background of this picture so when I get done with the layout you can understand it better. It goes without saying, I'm sure you'll fall in love with Sofia, because how can you not.
