Catching the Cherry Blossoms



 
Last week, Mark and I had a mini date. Nothing like a walk to the dry cleaners before a doctor's appointment for romance, right? But in reality, our walk was full of gratitude:

the first taste of the coming summer

time to slow down, even with a newborn
+
Hudson and his beautiful new life
+
Behr, for being so willing to go with the flow
+
my new 50mm camera lens

and catching the cherry blossoms

The cherry blossoms season is one of my favorite in DC. I had hopped they would peak early so I could enjoy them before my five day hospital stay. But a week of cold weather kept the blossoms at bay...just long enough until I was out of the hospital. The beautiful trees peaked over a week late and we were able to soak them in. We are now enjoying our full house and full hearts and overwhelming gratitude.

What have you been grateful for recently?

  3. I love that you can be grateful for "things" and "stuff" at the same time. Seasons changing, new babies, and fancy camera equipment. It's all so very good.
