Retro Friday is a weekly meme hosted here at Angieville and focuses on reviewing books from the past. This can be an old favorite, an under-the-radar book you think deserves more attention, something woefully out-of-print, etc. Everyone is welcome to join in at any time! So this is a book I've spent a lot of time talking about. Chances are, if you've hung around these parts, you've heard me push it. But I actually read it for the first time way back in the olden days before the blog was, well, what it is now. I read it shortly after it was first published, back in 2007, when I was writing monthly posts, mere collections of mini-reviews. So Song of the Sparrow got shortchanged.

That braid is too cute!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! And I love her hair.
ReplyDeleteThat is a WICKED Rapunzel dress. Wasn't your daughter Cinderella last year? It's good to know your children are good and proper Disney fans!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow... I can't believe how big your kids are getting!!! So cute, you always do such a great job with costumes. =) Hope you are doing well! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys. They had a great time and I have such a fun time on Halloween with them.
ReplyDeleteSally, good eye. We took one on my side as well when Piper was about 10 months, and I'm very glad we did.
Allie, my husband is a photographer and so I benefit from his excellent skills & equipment. For the top two shots he was using his Nikon D700. The bottom one of the braid I took with my iPhone. lol.
Lizzy, you're absolutely right. She's been a princess two years in a row. Although she tells me very emphatically that next year she's going to be Ahsoka from Star Wars. That's my girl.
I LOVE the flowers in her hair! Gorgeous!
