It reminds me of parent conferences; when I was a teacher talking to my students' parents ... about their daughters (and sons). And the vast majority of them were older than me, especially early in my career.
I am a daughter. Have been for 35 years. I remember as a young girl thinking that my mom - heck, anyone's mom - was old ... perspective is a crazy thing, huh?
I often refer to my daughters as my babies or my girls. When someone points out that I have two daughters, I just feel old.
I guess the word daughter makes me realize that someday my two baby girls are going to be grown women ... perhaps moms themselves with daughters of their own.
And then I will be really old!
Regardless of my age - or how old I feel, I have two beautiful daughters ...
... and that is a wonderful thing!

That feeling of being old and "growing" up totally sets in when you get together with your friends whom you party-hardyed (sp?) with and you all have kids! Crazy!!!
OH I feel ya and I am 40.. it really sets in when you realize your nieces and nephews are now giving you GREAT nieces and nephews lol..
They are both so cute! I can't believe how pretty your girls are!
I dont' feel old when I think about the fact that I have two kids, I feel old when I look at the wrinkles that have appeared since having two kids!
Daughters are so very precious....even when they grow up and we get old...er.
I prefer girls or kids too! Daughters is just more intimate too. The song just drives it home for me. John Mayer's song that is!
I LOVE that last pic of your daughters :). Both of their expressions are priceless! FRAMER!
