Exploring at Nonni's

I love our home. We have big bright windows and a lovely teal bath tub. And it has felt like a home since the moment we moved in about a year ago. But we do not have a yard. It's not only sad for me, for Lena, but our poor dog, Sweet Potato. How she would love a yard of her own to play in! Thankfully, Lena's Nonni and Papa live about five minutes away. In the country, with rose bushes, fruit trees, animals, and the greenest grass ever. This time of year we collect leaves and look for mushrooms. We explored there this morning while the sunlight made everything look colorful and lively.
 
























 
It's a little bit of heaven for us. Always welcomed with smiles, barks, and open hearts. Talks of love and parenting while walking (and sometimes rolling) down this sweet dirt road. Forever grateful for this place, this family.

Happy One

A couple Sundays ago, the rain stopped, the clouds parted, and we had a little Birthday Party for the most precious one year old we know.
 

 
 





 











 











 



 
We shared smiles and stories with loved ones, giggled, relaxed, and made new memories. Tried to stay warm in the sun and ate Apple Butter Caramel Cake and Pumpkin Pie. After nights of crafting and planning the day was perfect. We were happy. I hold every moment of your first year in my heart, forever. Happy One.
