A beautiful soul, inside and out, Addie Caples inspires me every single day. She is smart, funny (so funny!), kind, thoughtful, a true adventurer and a perfectionist. Leading up to her fifth birthday, I sat down with her to gain a bit of insight and capture this moment in time.
Ok, so, she sat on my lap and looked at me through those big, blue eyes through her fun, purple glasses that totally capture her personality, and I tried not to melt into a million pieces…

A brief bio (as dictated by my daughter):
My name is Addie. I’m almost 5 years old. I like my cousins and grandparents. That is all (as she twirls to go play Barbie's with her little sister).
