le parc

okay so remember the adorable nephew & niece i mentioned here and here?
well here they are in living colour:
autumn has not been so lovely here in winnipeg,
but sunday was absolute october perfection.
so we threw some coats on the kiddies, grabbed the camera,
and played outside for over two hours.

and here {in my humble opinion} is the
pièce de résistance
...

my dear sweet shaela:
swinging full force, head back, mouth open...
yes yes yes. love that life of yours baby.

ps. inspired by this post,
i'm off to make some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies à la
joy of cooking.

  1. Beautiful kids! I love that last photo where shaela is fully embracing the moment! If only we could bottle up that elation and carry it with us into the grown-up world!
