tree gazing

This Saturday we had a family day outside.

John thoroughly washed and detailed our cars while Evie and I laid on a blanket and tree gazed. 

We listened to his ultimate Pandora mix and he kept bringing me long lost treasures that had been held captive by our vehicles.  He recovered an earring I had been looking for and a brand new tube of mascara. 

I must say it is just as good or better than star gazing.

I loved watching the shadows dance across EJ's face and see her respond to many new noises.  The horses were galloping in the pasture and the wind was rustling through the trees above our heads.

It was a great Easter weekend full of a surprise birthday party, Finnish baked goodness, finding out my sweet S-I-L is pregnant!!, Easter baskets hunts by my clever mother, and a little photo shoot with my beautiful and very pregnant sister.  

I can't WAIT to have another baby around. Looking at her son's newborn onesies at her apartment made me nostalgic for those tiny days that pass so quickly.
