moms + babes.

When grandma comes to visit these two little babes are her constant companions. they collect sticks, sing songs, tell stories. they swing on swings, eat special treats, climb dunes. they forget about their momma as she escapes away with her love. on occasion these babes will fight over grandma's lap, her attention, her love. but this grandma, she has enough to go around. 

this grandma is my momma. when she visits I escape away to the land where everything is alright.

this momma is the kind my heart desires to be.

FREEDOM.

FREEDOM. LIBERTY. INDEPENDENCE.

a welcome shower was in order. invitations were sent, goodies were made, and this tiny one was loved.

His little mind.

For his little mind, lunch can be rather boring. Once set free his imagination soars.
