my hero and our labor day weekend

Isn't it amazing how just one extra day without obligations, without schedules, and with Daddy at home to relax and play can lift our spirits and feel like heaven on earth!?

Our long weekend has been busy.  We've been going and going.  And Piper is in the middle of her first proper nap in days.  I tell you what.  That kid is resilient, and flexible, and all kinds of adorable and wonderful.  She truly is a blessing to us, and we hear often about her easy-going temperament.

It is said temperament that gives us freedom to fellowship with friends and family, and be involved in the body of Christ, and to feel safe to take her to the weddings of people in our lives.  (Just for clarification:  We are not those rude parents that bring their screaming babies into wedding ceremonies, serving to dash any hopes that the parents of the bride and groom have about future grandchildren.  Zach drove around while the little one slept through the ceremony, and they came for the party.)


Photo credits go to Christi Dean on this one.  She is a wonderfully talented, budding photographer who took part in photographing our wedding, my bridal portraits, our maternity portraits, and our future family photos...and she is my hero!  Not only is my kid smiling and does this picture remain in focus, I am absolutely melting over the look that her dad is giving her in this one.  Check her out.

As for this weekend, we are about ready to stick a fork in it.  But not before we put in a movie and settle in for a rainy afternoon and night.  Happy Labor Day, indeed.
