Cuddly

It was an unsettled day at home. Two out of four kids not feeling well, Deacon did not have long enough naps and was fussy, so into the CuddlyWrap he went - it's my one guaranteed way to get him sleeping. Early to bed for everyone tonight.

It's art, baby, ART!

My search for a photo at the end of the day lead me to a work of art hanging in the kids' play area in the basement.

Little Deacon

Two months old today :)
He's very generous with his smiles these days, but today his dog was more interesting than smiling for the camera.

Bright Lights

Driving home late this evening, and Clay stopped so I could take some photos before we got home. I took this from a pedestrian bridge over the river. Bokeh makes nearly anything interesting :)

Wyatt is so affectionate with his baby brother, to the point where I have to reign him in at times because he comes on a little strong.
He loves Deacon's feet, and was happily singing a tune he made up,
"I love your toes, cuz they're sooo little."
Repeat :)

Weczeria

We went out for supper tonight with Clay's brother and his wife, before they move for the year. We had some gift certificates for Weczeria, an awesome locally owned restaurant where the menu changes weekly with food that is local and seasonal. It was so delicious, as we knew it would be!
It was a little dark to catch a good food photo, so I shot the bar instead.

Cacti

These are the babies of babies of some plants my mom has - which she received as babies ages ago. I'm not much of a green thumb, but these things won't die and keep reproducing. Perfect.

I know I've said it before, but I love watching him sleep. He's so beautiful. I love this photo for two reasons:
1: Deacon.
2: White.
I love the simple beauty of laying my baby down in a plain white bassinet, wrapped in a plain white muslin blanket sewn by his grandma.

Some days on this project, I have great victories. Other days, I take boring pictures of my lamp.

We went on a short drive this afternoon to see some friends who recently made a temporary move to another town, and had a great time visiting with them.
I enjoy living in the city, and I also enjoy getting out of the city.
As Dr. Seuss said,
It's opener there,
in the wide open air.
