A nap & a stretch or two (or more).

And a bath.

Other weekend memories to remember:
• Picking up some new peony plants at our favorite local nursery that just opened for the season.
• Going on a walk to the park with Anna in the stroller, Simon on his bike, and Lily on the leash.
• Shopping for lettuce and flowers at the Farmer's Market.
• Eating fresh salmon caught in the morning for dinner on Saturday.
• Breakfast early Sunday morning at our local hangout.
• Simon riding his bike with the neighbor kids and looking so, so tall.

• Making him change his clothes to a short sleeve t-shirt and shorts
because the weather was phenomenal.
• Digging in the backyard and dreaming about the changes I want to make out there (more projects).

    I do both. The timer works great or Chris is pretty willing to participate in my documentation/celebration :).

    Well it's already been said but she really does look so much like you. I see Simon looking a lot like Chris with the dark features and little Anna looking like you... so sweet!

    I am glad you caught Simon reading to his sister on camera - certainly a moment to be remembered. How glorious! Good job mom.
