The Lake with Lyla

Last weekend, bored with waiting for Baby Brudder and realizing our time with an only-child was drawing to an end, we had a spontaneous moment and decided to take Lyla to the lake for a picnic dinner and a little wander / play-time.

She delighted in throwing rocks and sticks in the water, walking along the bank, running through the tall grass, eating a picnic dinner (aka climbing around on the stone picnic table and consuming maybe one raisin), counting boats, and playing on the playground. She really wanted to go for a swim, but alas, we were losing sunlight, had no swimsuits, and the temperature wasn't all that warm (Yay, Fall!).

While I'm looking forward to embracing our new little guy just as much as I wanted to embrace Lyla, it'll be a bittersweet moment letting go of the "just us" time that I love so much while welcoming this new, exciting chapter for our family.

Our next blog entry will be as a family of four! Wow!
