#ourbackyard | take two

Today is a photo post.  I loved this theme so much I went out and took even more photos in our backyard.  This time it was in the morning.

I had coffee and she made a nest for her little bird.  The bird gave me kisses. So did she.  I snuggled her close and kissed her freckles while she giggled.

It was a welcome distraction, a change of pace...something new.  This morning was epic in its simplicity.

I have wanted to have my own cute little succulent planter for a long time.  I never really found one that I liked, though.  While strolling target the other day I finally found one.  It is small and looks a bit like a glass birds nest.
 











Isn't it adorable?  I have a feeling it will be a prop in at least one scrap project shoot.  

my girls | photos from today

It has been a while since I have gotten any photos of my girls with my big girl camera. Tonight we headed out for a few minutes and grabbed a couple shots.  My heart is bursting with how much they have grown over the last 6 months.  My littlest love has lost all of her babyness.  Suddenly I am looking into the face of a little girl and not the baby she was.  Oh and my sweet middle girl is now 7.  I still don't know quite how that happened.  It leaves me feeling quite old.


 

Oh how much I love them.  Even when they are being silly and all I got were these few photos out of the 100 I tried to take.  Goofballs.

(I used My Four Hens actions to prettify these photo.)
