rough starts, beautiful endings- weekend(s) in review

last saturday. our favorite pizza joint. since school has ended, and E has grown accustomed to naps, we've introduced them into her at home schedule. this day (2 saturday's ago), she'd missed one and was pretty hungry. the food at our fave pizza place (local) took a little while to arrive.

she does grumpy pretty well.
(and don't ask about the bows. lately, she wants bows in her hair).

so much for that tomboy :O)

she warmed up once she could "sit by mama"
and had some pizza in her tummy.

2 sunday's ago. drivin' mamas car.

this past saturday night. i'd worked all day and came
home to her first bump on the head. saturday is
"big bed" night, she gets to sleep with us for
10 minutes or so before she's back in her toddler bed.
here we are reading a fave book "Give Me Grace",
she calls it the "monday tuesday" book.

a cherished gift from a good friend.

hammin' up the injury

yesterday.
a nature walk, at her
request, no less!

some cherished blooms she carried home
given to her by baba

this dragonfly seemed to invite me to photograph it.
kept bobbing it's head up and down like..
"take another. come on".

i used my macro lens, so had to get very close for these.
maybe the 150% humidity was keeping him still?

is it me or does he have a cute smile?

ditto on this butterfly. they always fly away.
not today.
paused and posed.

cardinal's nest (we did see the bird... he didn't hang
around for a mug shot)

leaves of many sorts

time to head home...

i could do this every day.
