a spring picnic at the park

DSC01902

we discovered a beautiful new park this week! its not new really...in fact its the oldest one in the city! in true fashion i wasn't patient in the least and headed back to explore it with the family the very next day! we checked out some of the monuments, the ducks from all angles of the pond, had a picnic together, ran in the flowers, and checked out the passing trains carrying coal! a great time spent together! { the wind was quite crazy at times...so you are sure to see little man's hair...out.of.control! ;) }

feeding the ducks...they were spoiled ducks though and not appreciative of the fresh baked bread i had just pulled from the oven a few hours before...they had bread laying around waiting for them!

i can't tell you how much love i have for this child. somehow thousands of years with words and there aren't truly any that exist to describe the love. i have a relationship with him that is greater than i ever prayed it could be.
