FAMILY DAY WEDNESDAY - LET'S GO EXPLORING


Today, we visited the Morton Arboretum- a little place in the suburbs of the city.  My cutoff shorts
and very white legs made their first appearance of the year, and all three of us are positively
wiped out!  Whew!  When's the next adventure?

    oooh all that green! This looks like such a great place to explore! I hope you had a wonderful family day.

    BTW: those cut offs short are awesome. I feel the need to make a pair of my own because they are that awesome.

    I just stumbled upon your blog from I don't remember where. I've been looking through all your old posts. Lovely photos! I'm a sucker for arboretums, myself. I go fairly frequently myself. My own white legs have yet to make an appearance this year yet and I live in SoCal.

    That is such a special place for me. My parents brought me there when I was Sofia's age, Brandon and I got married there, and now I bring Emma there! It is so beautiful, and your pictures are gorgeous!

bathe

first bath, mother's day 2013 we bathed you in the afternoon sun, warm and snuggled between layers of terrycloth. your sister gently helped shampoo your hair and wipe the bubbles from your skin. your papa took your photo as i held you between my hands, still so very little. your lips, softly open. your eyes, gazing outwards toward the shining sun. we live for the simple moments - there is no other way i could have imagined this day. just as it is, just as you are. a mother. it's my most favorite thing to be.
