Presenting the family's latest 11 year old!

In all the hubbub there was a birthday in our family this weekend that got only a little bit overlooked.  Not overlooked, exactly, just spread out over multiple days.  ;-)

I just can't believe how our Brynners has grown.  The past two years have shown tremendous growth.  She's tall (well, for a Richardson) and smart, and getting less shy as each year goes by, and developing so many interests that are all her own.

Josh and I have known for about 5 months that Brynne really, really wanted her own camera...and so thanks to Aunt Shannon who let us buy her older model, we were able to make that little dream come true.  I've loved looking at the photos that Brynne's taken.  I'll have to post the ones she took on their Odyssey trip - she got a great shot of a rainbow as they drove down!

Some of her other interests: animals (she wants to be a vet), violin, and art!

So sweet

She has always loved babies

2010 - doing her schoolwork in the tree.  Classic Brynne.

Happy Birthday!!
