retakes

dear little leah, 

we got your school pictures back last week. and it's a no go. they should have turned out okay. there was definitely potential. you looked like this, after all. 

but the end result was nowhere as successful as 2010-2011. you kind of set the bar high. so, retakes it is. sorry miss ribbons. but perhaps you should try smiling next time.

love you.

love, 

mommy.
