All smiles are not created equally

Without question, Franny has the most incredible, wonderful, infectous, heart-melting smiles I have ever seen. And she has a multitude of smiles, ranging from the subtle and sweet, to mischievous to fun-loving, to just plain happy and joyous.

However, there is nothing that I love more than the smiles I get immediately after Franny awakes in the morning. I don't know if it's the rumpled hair, the bleary eyes, the smile that seems to say "Oh, hooray--I haven't seen you in so long!", or the combination of it all, but it melts my heart every single morning. Unquestionably, I love all of Franny's smiles, and thankfully, she smiles, grins, and beams quite continuously throughout the day. But there is something very special about that morning smile, and although I have tried repeatedly, it's not an image a camera can capture. I guess it must be one of those joys of motherhood--lucky me!!!
