when sabin was little:
: : she had the cutest little red cowboy boots with silver-tipped toes.
: : she called hippopotamus (we had a lot of those in our sandra boynton books) "hillaponsa"
: : all the people she drew had flowers for heads.
: : she once ate her weight in those tiny little shrimp that take forever to peel (fjordrejer) and then asked for more.
: : told the neighbors that she was 100% danish, but also half swedish and half american (that may have been only a week or so ago).
: : was more snowsuit than child when bundled up for cold weather.

sweet little memories :)
very sweet and oh so cute!
that second photo is gorgeous!
so delightful.
You can totally be 100% Danish and half Swedish, half American... I am 100% English, and part Spanish, after all!!
Firstly, she is uber-cute! Secondly, well done - clearly you bought up a child unafraid to be herself, and that is a rare quality! Lastly, I wonder if they make those boots for grown ups?
The writer Anne Lamott says that when she watches her son sleep, she sees all the ages he's ever been. I love that and can see it too.
It's so wonderful to look back on them when they are that age and then look at them today...so much wonder!
Side note - the boots are fabulous!
Watching our children grow is one of the most amazing things we can ever experience. I love looking at old pictures of my son and remembering all the wonderful things he did, while at the same time wondering about his future and all the amazing things he will do.
That red boot photo just slays me. Her face is luminous.
I love this.
This morning I sat and just watched some of my own daughters photos cross my laptop screen, remembering each one as they passed.
The modern day photo album...a laptop.

Sweet post!
So cute! I like the last photo!

Love the second picture.;) She seems to be not just cute, but original too.;)

which do i love more? the boots or that sweet vest?
Or how one pant leg is tucked in, and one hangs down.
Is the sale of the house making you sentimental? Sabin looks like a precious little cabbage patch doll in the second shot. What camera were you using those days?
You really do have a great blog here. I have a blog myself which brings inspiration and guidance to people all around the world. Life is hard enough, and I hope my site can contribute anything positive to someone's day.
I'd like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around between each other. Please let me know if this is possible. Until then, keep up the good work.

so what was she actually saying when she was taken to see the hog instead?
Aw it was sweet!!!
I had to check the translation for "min mor og min far" and well... laughed a lot. Poor little girl!

That put a smile on my face..
I just discovered your blog and I really like it. I adore the name Sabin.
I got a bit of a giggle out of the description of her being 100% Danish, but also half-Swedish and half-American.
I was born in America and live here, but I'm ... Danish and Swedish ... and Norwegian.
Anyhow, your blog is lovely and I'm adding your RSS feed to my reader.
