Took these the day before the haircuts last week. :)
This is where my heart is today…with my little girl, who isn’t quite as little as I wish she was. Today my girl went all double digits on me, and I just stand in disbelief that I have been a mother for a decade. So UNREAL. How can I be 25 with a 10 yr old? ;) (Just kidding…)
To my Priya Izabella….
You warm my heart every day.
Although it drives me crazy at times, you amaze me with your free spirit, with your lack of inhibition, with your carefree style.
One thing I will always love is your over dramatic laugh…
So grown up, but still so small. Ten years is such a new stage, a breaking of a new dawn.
Those beautiful brown eyes….for ten years they have repeatedly melted my heart.
Looking at you, I wonder what type of woman you will become.
I hope that you grow in strength, knowledge and good character, by the grace of God.
I love you precious girl- today and always!!! And (for you P) I will post more later…baby photos and whatnot. But right now the house is a bit chaotic!

precious. you’ll cherish taking all of these photos….I hope I do the same for my own… :)
She’s so, so beautiful Jess. I can’t wait to see what kind of pictures you’ll be taking of her at 16, when she’s submitting them some place to model ;)
Fifth shot down, b&w — so much personality in that one it just stands out to me.
i love these pics of pri, jess! she’s certainly does not look the little bald baby i remember, but she is every bit of the baby that i fell in love with 10 years ago. what a precious gift she has been in my life. happy birthday buddy. i love you to pieces pri!
Happy Birthday Priya!
This brought tears to my eyes. She is just so beautiful. : )
WOW… these photos kinda “caught me off guard” or something. Priya looks older already… but the “strappy” outfits make her look even older…. YIKES stop the clock! According to pic. number in order… here is what I saw: 1 = Brett and my Dad’s Lebanese family, 2 & 4 = a girl from Lebanon, 5 = unfortunately she looks a little like me here, 6 & 7 = an American Indian girl, 9 = just Priya, 11 = Jesse, 12 = Priya as a “little girl”. HAPPY B’Day to MY Priya-bella with Much Love!!
Your personal post are always the best, filled with spirt and warmth.
Happy Birthday Priya!
my favorite, and the most beautiful & hilarious, ten year old.
oh jess, these are just beautiful. the images you caught of priya on her first day of a new decade are priceless. she will love them as you love her….forever.
She is so beautiful Jess. I love everything about this post.
