Cropped Stories: The Missing Link

Have you ever felt like something was missing from your life? Well, it could just be one of the links below. Hence my post title! You may ask yourself "Is she serious"? Well the answer is "No, I'm definitely NOT serious”. I'm just feeling silly. Seriously though, I thought I'd share some of my favorite links with you in an effort to spread the love. What's better is that I thought I'd make this post a weekly thang! No that isn't a typo. I told you I was feeling silly. So the links below may not complete your life, but I'm hoping they, in some way, add to it. I separated them into categories for easy navigation. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Before I can leave you, I had to share my most recent pictures of Alivia. I’ve decided that I like side lighting best! Love the contrast between the highlights and shadows on her face.

This next shot came out blurry but I was able to sharpen it a little.
There was no way I was leaving this one out just because of a little blur.
Look at that expression!
She looks like such a big girl!
