Our Afternoon at the Park

It has been beautiful here lately so yesterday I decided to find the energy to get all three kids (I watch a 10 month old little girl)done with lunch, cleaned and dressed, in the stroller with sippy in hand, and out the door in about 20 min without too much of a fuss from the kids. I have become rather efficient at this whole process which I am quite proud of :) and I know all you Mom's out there understand this. We took a short walk and then headed to a quiet little park in our neighborhood. Not our usual huge and very busy park. This way I could let Logan play without me following right behind him and let Jordy lay on the blanket. Kenley preferred to hang out in the stroller so that worked also. I am realizing more and more just how much Logan is a little boy now. He is independent and strong and I had little fear that he would be able to do all the things on the playground without my help. It's a little sad to me but at the same time I am so proud of him. The last few pictures of him are of him spotting "flowers" on his own and then finding "treasures" and thoroughly examining them on the slide. Then he had to take them over to Kenley to show her which she loved! I know this seems trivial but to a mom seeing her son beginning to really discover the world on his own it is memorable and sweet and sad all at the same time. And then there is my sweet Jordy who was so content on his blanket full of smiles and I truly realize how blessed I am to get to share these memories daily being home with them.
