Agreed.  The group is a group simply because these are what I scanned at the
same time.  :)

I hesitated about even finishing the scan for #8, but decided to go ahead
and scan it and then see if I liked it better later.  So far, later hasn't
happened.

No need to be nervous at all.  I understand what you're saying.  I thought
the same thing when I first saw the scan.  "What happened to my baby?"  She
looks so old there just by her expression.  (Not quite 4...still 3.)  

Thanks for looking, and thanks even more for taking the time and effort to
comment!
