A few days ago, P and Caroline took another trip to the ranch. All she has been talking about for the last week is how much she wants to “shoot a duck and eat it for dinner”. While she didn’t actually shoot or retrieve the duck, make no bones about it, this is her duck.
When I found out that I was expecting a baby girl almost four years ago, I went home and made myself a CD that included such songs as Sweet Caroline, Isn’t She Lovely, Daddy’s Little Girl, and Thank Heaven for Little Girls. I would listen, while my pregnancy hormones took over, and just cry at the sweetness of knowing that my daughter was on her way.
After looking at these pictures, I’m thinking maybe I should have been listening to The Bellamy Brothers singing Redneck Girl.
Nobody ever said it was easy “cruising in Daddy’s pickup truck”.
