Busy week

This photograph breaks a number of rules of "good" photography (exposing for the main subject, shooting faces instead of backs-of-heads, leaving room for your subject to go), but it gives a pretty accurate representation of our typical morning walk. We walk together on the neighborhood streets where cars and school buses and garbage trucks rumble by, and when we arrive at the trail head all is fair game. It's time to run ahead, free from the bonds of hand-holding and strollers.

It has been another busy week. We visited a new library on Monday. Papa Harry rode his bike to our house Tuesday and stayed the night. Nannie Lynn came Wednesday to play and help. Wednesday night we brought our car to Uncle Scot's shop for repair. We brought Emily to the bus station this morning to catch a ride to downtown Minneapolis for some work training. Miles has preschool tonight. Papa Mike will join us Friday for some adventure. Saturday on the calendar is an empty square. Thank goodness.

Look at them go! I'm loving the photo for the sense of freedom you see. The fall light has its own magic, with the shadows and outlining of the kids. Thanks for our time with them. We know Papa Mike will have a blast.

It totally looks like Margo is giving the stroller a shove! :) I miss those two like crazy. Counting the days till I see you all in December :)

She is, in fact, pushing the stroller. I think it gives her a sense of importance. Of course I have to intervene before she derails and heads toward the pond.
