Dearest Readers: For all the important things in your life ... if it's important to you, it's important to us.

It isn't every month we have more than one baby photo that comes in that is soooo cute and appealing that I can't decide which one to feature for our Baby of the Month.

Such was the case this month!

I was all set to share with you a photo of the most adorable little boy in the world. But I've decided — for obvious reasons that I promise you'll understand soon — to use his photo (and history) next week on Veteran's Day.

Today though, I want you to feast your eyes on one of the cutest November Baby of the Month candidates EVER! (See photo).

Little Sophia, 6 1/2 months old, is experiencing her very first fall this year. And if she could talk more than in baby-speak, I'm sure she'd ask: "Why are the leaves that fall from the trees such a pretty color, Mommy?" and "Why is my nose so cold and the air so chilly?" "Is the world always this beautiful?" "I hope so because I just love being part of it and being with you!"

To which her parents I'm sure would respond ... "The world is much more beautiful because you're in it, Sophia. And we just love you being with us too!"

Now I think I could call the sweet girls in our next photo, the best November Mom and Baby of the Month, and be correct on all counts.

No doubt their story is inspirational — something that will lift you from the doldrums of a depressing day, and maybe, just maybe be the light that someone needs to be able to make it through a hard time in this dark old world.

Kristina McDaniel — the one in the gown and mortarboard — just finished her course work and finally earned the Bachelor's Degree she's strived to get for years. And those of you, who have done that, know how difficult that can be. She did it though, and all with the added responsibility of being a mother — that's her cute little 9-month old daughter Audrey pictured with her — and working too.

Too much to do, was the reason Kristina gave why she just couldn't be there in person for the graduation ceremony and to receive her much deserved diploma. However, loving family members threw her a surprise graduation party anyway

"We just wanted to let her know how proud we are of her and what she has accomplished," said Michelle, one of those aforementioned loving family members.

... And a standing ovation and much praise comes from all the rest of us who are also amazed and inspired!

Keep all of those tidbits coming!
