On Sunday morning I was inspired and we headed to Mingo Park for some family time.  We had a picnic, walked a few miles, threw rocks into the creek, checked out the bugs and tiny fish, and visited the spots where I had maternity photos taken.  It was a good day.

Here I am midway through the first week of Avery's return to daycare and I'm fighting off sadness. The days feel longer than they were with her here.  I miss her.  I want a sweet little hug.
