Why buy toys when you've got such squishy feet to nibble on?

A few more photos of Noah at 5 months old. Why does time have to march on? Can't we just freeze time and save this moment in our pocket forever? 

I was invited to photograph an adorable St. Patrick's Day party, designed by the lovely ladies from Design Loves Detail blog. They said Sydney and Max could join in on the fun, and the kids were excited to celebrate this green holiday for the first time (I don't know why this day is usually overlooked most years). It made me miss my sister, Malinda's, enthusiasm for this understated holiday.

We are so lucky to live next to this huge quiet park. Rain or shine, cold or hot, we make our way over, through our backyard fence and up the big grassy lawn.

Valerie came along for the afternoon. We love her!

Sydney loves packing baskets with food, toys, and books wherever we go.
