No more than 2 weeks after moving into our new house in Texas we heard a knock at our front door. I was greeted by a sweet and miled-mannered red-headed 12-year-old that handed me a “Care Bear Cares Babysitting Service” flyer and said, “Hi, I’m Libby, and I love to babysit.” As if the red hair weren’t enough, it was love at first sight. Libby quickly became a neighbor that’s felt more like family and I’ve cherished our conversations at the bar when she swings by after school to say hello and see “The Babies” (my 3 littles). Libby and her entire family have been such a gift to us here in TX. On October 12, Libby became a Bat Mitzvah, and it was so special for me to witness her hard work and commitment, and to photograph her big day.
