The great outdoors and some good friends.

There have been times in my life when I was pretty sure that I was born in the wrong decade. I think I would have loved to grow up in the 40's or 50's. If that is true then I think that Eva should have been born in the pioneer days. My little munchkin loves to run and be outdoors so much and we just live in a time and place that sometimes limits her. Well on this beautiful summer day that thankfully wasn't even too hot we got to go and play at my friend Megan's house. Megan and I met in college, and she and her husband recently bought and are renovating the home she grew up in. It is not too far from us but it is more removed from the normal suburban area. I guess you would consider it the country? They are doing an awesome job making little changes to make it into their own home but what I loved best about their home was the big open yard and outdoor areas for the kids to play in. 

You know that amazing feeling when you are walking around and suddenly there is a horse right there? Well now Eva knows that feeling. Our other friend Sarah was in town visiting so she and her daughter Adaya came out to Megan's too. I think Eva just really enjoyed playing outside and being with other little friends (although we've definitely hit the time in toddlerhood where you have to learn how to play nicely with friends....). 

Megan's little man, Liev is so blessed to not only have such great parents but a great place to grow up in. His adventurous spirit just shines out of him!

And let's not forget the littlest, squishiest friend, Ellin. Seriously. How cute are those cheeks? I saw her when she was a newborn and have seen tons of photos online but getting to kiss those little arms in person was even better! We had such a relaxing morning and I'm thankful for old friends like Megan and Sarah. They are such great mama's and you can see how much they love their babies!
