today brought new perspectives for us. new toys to play with us . . . . new avenues to explore . . . . new flowers to pick and new bugs to hide from. i loved lounging out front with my gigantic cup of coffee basking in the warm glow of the early morning sun.
i love seeing the excitement on my girls' faces as their friends come to play and bring with them new treasures to explore.
i love how my youngest daughter is as girl as they come . . . . wanting to wear fancy dresses and fancy shoes . . . . changing her shoes 4 times throughout the morning because they might have become the tiniest bit wet . . . changing her outfit because it has the tiniest speck of dirt on it.
i love watching them peddle away on their bikes seeing just how fast they can go, making it a race around the cul-de-sac . . . taking after their daddy more and more each day.
i love being able to sit there and take picture after picture knowing that they are probably thinking in their head "another picture mommy? aren't we done yet?" and then they give in and allow me to take just one more picture before they run off and find something more exciting to do.
today we were shaded by the umbrella as we felt the texture of the red play clay between our fingers . . . .we made pretend pancakes and birthday cakes and shared them with all of our friends, inviting them to make a wish as they blew out the imaginary candles.
and then, at the end of the day, i am reminded that even though they might act like big girls, they still have a little bit of baby left in their hearts. oh how i heart my blonde haired beauties.
