Wow! She's going to need a special shelf! I really like her hair blonde and with that light blue. It's stylish but also look really good with her delicate bone structure. She's so ahead of her peers.

Congratulations to both of you. And, wow, she is FINE! She's grown up a lot in just the time you've been on LJ. How much does she look like her mother?

Wonderful photos -- she looks both happy and sad, and also she looks a lot like her Father!

(snf, snf...dabs tear from my eye and it's not even my kid) You must be just busting with pride.

Happy Father's day Van. Big hug, and hope you had a great time. :)

Her school has a fairly strict dress code, but Marian seems to get away with bending the rules. I think it's because she doesn't rebel in other ways, like sneaking cigarettes and alcohol, and her teachers seem to have caught onto her dedication. She stands out in appearance as well as achievement, but no one seems to mind.

Danny commented she looks about 20 here. Brenna and Marian look a lot alike, but Brenna looks slightly more like her mother, Marian like me. Marian also has many of my mannerisms.

Yes, she had a lot of emotions happening that day, and she certainly takes after me.

Absolutely!

Didn't get to spend it with my kids, but I've got lots of time with them coming up. And it was a good weekend in other ways. Many thanks.

Yeah, she is pretty strong that way. I'm glad that her school environment seems to encourage it, rather than pressing her to conform, and her classmates are tolerant, too.

Thank you. I'm taking a much-needed day off, my first one alone since before this post, more than two weeks ago. The time with the girls was wonderful. Listening to music in the car and thinking a lot of you today.
Love,
Van
