So, if you read the entire post below you definitely deserve a bit of a happier post. So here it is. This is Carissa this fall ... I can still remember what a beautiful day it was. It was cool but the sun was shining and it was dry. We had so much fun. Not like the soggy mess our yard is right now, but I digress. Anyways, I got some of the most beautiful photos of her that day and this is one of them. Enjoy. :)
