a girl with a stick!

glorious fall

Lilah will always find herself a stick. It doesn't matter what we do or where we go, a stick will be found and played with!

She is such a great big sister too, because now she is teaching her little sister about how to find a good stick too! The evidence is right here and here!

I saw this tree last week, when Phebe and I were driving home from a grocery shopping expedition. So one morning, after I had the girls all dressed for the day, Lilah decided she wanted to take the morning off from her Kindercare. I was fine with that, I actually like to have her home in the morning, at least one day a week. So we walked up to the library together and when we got there (it was 9am!), we found out that the library didn't actually open until 10am! Oops. And that's when I remembered 'the tree'!

So I suggested we go to 'the tree' to take a few pictures and return to the library afterwards. Perfect - everyone was in agreement! So I got these lovely early morning light shots, that I don't normally get! Because I'm generally not a morning person! How times change!

And finally, helping her little sister with her smile. How precious is that!

    1. @ Mike - 9:40... to some people, that probably is considered the afternoon! Ha! "Early Morning" is all relative, especially when you're me, and not a morning person! Heh!
