During a lazy, rainy morning last Sunday, Lorelai grabbed her folding chair and told us she wanted to go outside and watch the rain like we'd done before, so she and Raina spent a while just hanging out on the front porch while my mom and I watched them from just inside the door.
It was really soothing, and I would have loved to pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and just hang out with them, enjoying the fresh air (of course, I would have clothes on, unlike my girl).
Too bad our porch is tiny, so all I could do was dream from inside. We're not planning to move anytime soon, but when we do, I think a big old front porch or even a screened in deck would make at least a couple of us happy. :)
Me too! We've only been in our home for 2 years (& I do LOVE it), but I already daydream about our "forever" home. It will be sad to leave this one and all of the memories behind some day, though!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are fabulous! I feel like you and I are really stepping up our photography skills lately! Have you been playing around in manual mode? I've been using AV or TV mode - close, but not quite full manual yet. :-)
Thanks!! I still mostly rely on AV mode, but I have been venturing more into manual. The majority of my beach pictures are in manual. I just have a lot more trouble with manual inside (no external flash).
DeleteI know what you mean about the memories. We've been in our house for 9 years now, brought all of our kids home from the hospital to this house...it'll be tough.
