Zoe's first trip to the park
We have a swing for Zoe that is hanging in the garage. I know, not the best place but not every yard has trees fit for kids swings. She loves it but it's the garage for pete's sake. Get me outside! So I picked up Madi from school and headed for the park. It was actually Zoe's naptime but sometimes when I get an idea in my head, it takes over and I can't relax until it has come to pass.
I look at these two beautiful girls and I feel so lucky to be their mom. Now when I say 'lucky' it's not because i believe in luck ( I don't ) but it's because I feel like someone who has won the biggest prize in a contest. They are joy to me.




I thought that Zoe would be the entertaining one since it was her first time at the park but turns out Madison captivated both out our attention for most of the time.


When she wasn't watching her silly big sister, she was laughing in the swing.



Madison is very adventurous. She is brave, funny, smart, compassionate, tender-hearted and she has the characteristics of a leader.

We'll be back soon!

You have lovely daughters! You know this. :)

If Madison has the characteristics of a leader, it's because she's being raised by one.

:D

Love you!
