Baby on a rock

Sorry my posts have been few and far between for the last little while. With the preschool shoot almost behind me, hopefully I'll be better at posting my own. Last Saturday we had such a nice day outside. The weather has been gorgeous, not too hot, not too cold...and no bugs - yet! We spent the day planting cold hardy veggies in the garden that was made on mothers day. Nothing fancy, just some lettuce (different varieties) some herbs and some broccoli. I keep meaning to plant peas but haven't gotten around to it yet, hopefully I won't be too late. After the garden we went on a small hike into the forest to see the "fairy dust". The fairy dust is only sawdust from a tree that Paul cut down last fall. The girls LOVE it. They throw it in the air and spin, they sing and they get all giddy with it. They even put it on Bronwyn's bottom (our dog) to see if it will make her fly. (They are in a Peter Pan stage right now!) I love the imagination of children, so refreshing. After the fairy dust we hiked back down by the garden and played in the creek. Madeleine is now just able to negotiate the slippery rocks and get the idea of not stepping in the deep parts so it doesn't go over her boot. This picture is her of her sitting on the biggest rock in the creek. She took forever to get to the top by herself (well with her baby of course which was more of a hinderance) then when she was up there she stayed there...singing goodness knows what at the top of her lungs. I love to get pictures of her doing her thing because she is so hard to photograph when she knows you're coming!
