On a bright and breezy June afternoon, I pulled out Sylvia’s fairy canopy and hung it from our front yard tree.
Here’s a picture of me in December 2007 getting the canopy for Christmas just before Sylvia was born. It hung over her crib until she was old enough to pull on it, and since then, it’s been in storage, waiting her her to be old enough to hang it again.
I loved seeing theses kiddos enjoying a quiet lunch under the purple gauze of the canopy. We sat still and listened for the sounds around us, and we all went around and shared something we’d noticed that day that made our hearts glad.
So pretty!
Here’s pretty Celia. Sylvia looked at this picture and noted that she looks kind of sad. I just think it’s hard not to get lost in those big brown eyes.
Here’s a picture I love of my Eli and Celia. I printed it as a float wrap and gave it to Jessica for her birthday. Such beautiful little people!
A couple days later, it was my 34th birthday! Bryan and I went to American Players Theater and saw a great production of Taming of the Shew. Thanks to Bubba and Lisa for watching the kids while we had a great night away.
One of my favorite parts of a play at APT is the pre-dinner picnic. Bryan got us set up with some delicious cheeses, wine, hummus, bread, and fruit. It was a great birthday!
