Just Like Heaven



Last time I took a quilt outside in my own backyard, spread it out, plopped down on it and stared up at the beautiful sky? NEVER. Sad really. But to be fair, having had two dogs the last several years, doing such could be considered daring—it's a poop land mind out there to some degree.

But, where there's a will there's a way, cliche as that is. So, yesterday I decided to take L on a field trip, to our own backyard. I took a fab quilt I negotiated my ass off for in India a few years ago outside with us + my camera, thankfully. What fun!

Fresh air. A gentle breeze. A sprinkle of sunshine beneath the shade of our mango tree. It was Just Like Heaven. So was was L's onesie. ;-) (yep, that's Robert Smith's silhouette!)

calm after the storm



At this very moment I am standing outside under a tree with liam in his sling swaying back and forth. Im squeezing his little hand and singing to him occasionally. I turn in a super slow circle to change up his view. You see, its hot out and so boring in. He has cried a ton today and I don't have my usual energy to entertain him. Since I've been out here swaying and spinning he hasn't protested. Life is ever so strange.
