I Wish You More...

I was so happy when I got the chance to photograph these two. (See! I have a daughter of my own so I'm pretty partial to mother-daughter duos.)

All the while I couldn't get the words to one of my favorite children's books out of my head. 

"I wish you more ups than downs.
​I wish you more give than take.
I wish you more tippy toes than deep.
I wish you more we than me.
I wish you more hugs than ughs.
I wish you more woo-hoo than whoa.
I wish you more will than hill.
​I wish you more can than not.
I wish you more snowflakes than tongue.
I wish you more pause than fast-forward.
I wish you more umbrella than rain.
I wish you more bubbles than bath.
I wish you more treasures than pockets.
I wish you more stories than stars."

And, It wasn't until I had remembered my way through the entire text that I realized why...

It's all the because of the last line of the book. It reads...

​"I wish all of this for you because you are everything I could wish for…
and more."

I could plainly feel that Addison was as the book says- everything Kristen could have wished for.. and more!

​So much love! So many adventures ahead! And, I can't wait to see how Addison grows up and these two continue to grow together.
