A Day at the Botanical Gardens...

One of my favorite pictures of the day (and ever of Zoë).  We spent

the day at the botanical gardens and the girls were over the moon.

Such a beautiful day…more pictures to come.

Tender moments...

Earning lollipops...

Poppi - I think she's had enough pictures for the day.

Portrait sessions are not one of any 3 year olds favorite things to do, but the girls took theirs in stride and earned every ounce of sugar in those lollipops.  They were so sweet to the photographer and their manners were impeccable.  I was so proud of them; they began to flag after an hour so we called it a day.  I love the photographer's style and I am so anxious to see the final pictures…will share soon.

Mother's Day...

The reason I breathe.

While my girls are too young now, I hope one day they will understand the courageous woman their birth mother must have been; without her my heart would be hollow and my purpose unknown.

I am forever grateful.

A Night at the Museum...

Zoë sitting on the very LARGE reading chair at the Children's Museum that just opened in our neighborhood.  The girls were beside themselves with glee over the special night of festivities just for them!  They were like whirling dervishes going from activity to activity…until Poppi saw the Dinosaur mascot walking around, then all bets were off and she was happy just to sit inside the "dentist's" office exhibit tapping away at the pretend computer.  Zoë high-fived him/her and went on her whirling way.

P.S.  I'm dating myself, but the chair reminds of the giant rocking chair on Laugh-In.

Gardening is good for the soul…

…no matter how small the soul :)
