solstice

a late afternoon nap on mama's back


Sometimes we get so caught up in the largeness, the constant pull to now-ness, of these children, that we forget just how small they are.

a trip to Laurelhurst Park involved much tree touching and looking up, up, up.

On Monday, we took our annual trip to the beach for Laurie's birthday. It also happened to be Solstice. We were blessed with a mostly rain-free day, and the boys got to re-discover the sand, the surf, the waves. Having grown up in the salty air of Cape Cod, returns to the coastal waters are refreshing for my very soul. It was a good day.

  2. What a beautiful day (and beautiful photos as usual)! Is that Shoghi in the last picture? Wow, he does look like a big boy in that picture. I know what you mean about forgetting how little/young/innocent they are when wrapped up in the care and feeding of them (and the tantrums, etc!)
