I really liked this one. Evie was with Julie while I got Jack settled at the car, so he and I had a minute to ourselves. Sometimes I get caught up in the "mommy-ness" of making sure we get from point A to point B with a minimum of injuries or lost time, everybody gets fed, etc., etc., and I forget that he and I really do have a great, friendly camaraderie. For me, this picture really captures how much fun we were having together.
Hallelujah, we have a double stroller! We walked about a half mile for that muffin Jack is munching on. We will now be able to go to the library, pool, and the million fun places around 3rd street, all without having to get in the car OR walk at Jack's (short-legged two-year-old) pace! I'm rather excited about this. :)
Jack has been wanting to hold Evie a lot recently. When she was really little he was always telling me to let go, because he could do it! I'm so glad she can sit up on her own now so he can do what he wants and hold her all by himself. It really makes him feel grown up!
Evie really, really likes the black raspberries from the yard! They're one of her favorite treats, and just the right size that she can eat them without help. Actually, that's probably the best feature!
Well, that was a very satisfactory snack. Thanks for the raspberries, mom!
Sometimes Jack notices that I'm taking pictures of Evie and starts to really ham it up for me. :)
