Tim took her on a hike near our house yesterday. Just the two of them.
She wanted to run in the mud and dip her toes in the water (and he let her).
He brought the camera and captured her staggering beauty exactly right.
I am so lucky to have a guy like him in my life. And so is she.
A few days ago, she said, “Daddy misses me when he goes to work.” And I said, “Yes. Yes, he does.”
P.S. Stay tuned for some important announcements this weekend about chhhaa-chhhaa-chaanges here on this little blog.

March 4, 2010 at 11:03 pmYou’re making me want to move to Arizona. That awesome landscape looks like Mars to my Indiana gray-sky-dead-grass-dirty-snow acclimated eyes.

March 4, 2010 at 7:22 pmThat’s so wonderful that she got some time alone with Daddy. My kids love dipping their toes in the puddles too.
I have no patience but very excited for your news. :0)

March 4, 2010 at 4:55 pmShe is too cute. Both of your girls are. I love seeing your posts about them because it reminds me of both of my girls (they are ages 5 and 3).
Thanks so much for commenting on my blog posts. I just blog every now and then about whatever is going on in my life and I get a bit “star struck”, if you will, when a big-time blogger like yourself takes the time to say hi. You are the first one to ever do that. It made my day.

March 4, 2010 at 11:50 amOoooh…I’m very excited for the changes!
I just love Daddy time alone with the kids. It’s a win-win for everyone. I get time alone with the baby or by myself if she’s sleeping. And the older one loves the attention from Daddy.

March 4, 2010 at 9:38 amMikayla love going for hikes and nature walks. Last night the girls and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. We live on dirt roads and we are dealing with lots of snow + warm days = mud everywhere on a walk! We had lots of fun.
Joe like to take Mikayla to the pool for daddy daughter time in the evenings as well.

March 4, 2010 at 6:14 amSo sweet! Lately when I drop my daughter off at school and say “I’ll pick you up after school” she says “Because you miss me?”
Oooh I miss them more than they know when I’m at work!

We took a walk to the park to swing the other day – it was pretty nippy and we didn’t stay out long, but it was oh so much fun!
