    Now that would make me happy too. In fact is DOES make me happy! I like how she folds herself up into her chair, making her itty bitty self even smaller. She reminds me of a wee pixie.

    Sophie looks ready to be borne aloft by those colorful balloons. What an uplifting thought of the adventures she'd have.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    And the sunshine matches the colours of all those balloons, and matches the smile on Sophie's face.
