My time out

I decided that I needed a "time out" yesterday from my to-do lists. The perfect answer was to go to the park, feed the ducks and spin in a new skirt. It was a great escape for the three of us. I take a lot of pictures of my kids while they are doing stuff around the house or out and about. I don't often go out and just take pictures of them. It was a perfect opportunity to just be with them and see what the camera captured. I think these are some of my favorites I have taken of them in a long time. These two bring me more joy and love than I ever thought possible...
She can get so deep in thought sometimes, I love what she thinks about and shares with me.
Is there anything better than wearing a new skirt and just spinning until you fall down!?!

Lately, it has been hard to get pictures of the two of them together. They enjoy running in opposite directions. This time they were running in the same direction towards me!
Anyone who has spent 5 minutes with this little boy realizes that he falls down constantly. He tries SO hard to keep up with his big sister that he just falls down. This is a pose he is in quite often picking himself up. I know before long he will have his balance and won't trip over his feet as much. Moments like this make me stop and cherish the stage he is at now.
More spinning! He could not quite figure out what she was doing. As soon as he tried it...you guessed it...he fell down!
Running down the hill is SO MUCH FUN!

My growing boy

These two pictures just capture my heart. I love these two kids and enjoyed my afternoon with them so much. It was a great reminder for me that we just need to stop sometimes and just BE.
