Thank Heaven for Little Girls....

Can't you just hear Maurice Chevalier singing those words? I expect it's because our fourth granddaughter was just born, but I've been thinking about little girls this week.

So, here are a few (well, quite a few to tell the truth!) of my favorite photos of little girls from my family photo collection - both Peters and Penley. Hope you enjoy them!

Sassy little Barbara Peters Page

(I guess we have to thank Heaven for little boys, too. )

Good luck with that, girls!

Love these pictures, Cindy. Surprised to find myself in with the Peters clan. I am a first cousin to Barbara and Linda on the Templeton side of the family. Picture #7 - that's me in the middle. This is a fun blog and makes me want to start one. Good work. Hope you and your husband are happy living down here.
