So, M has headed off to visit family and I am here in Florida, missing the heck out of her. I find myself wanting to point out new birds at the pond or interesting looking sticks as I take Moxie for her walks, but turn around to find that there is not an adorable tow-headed 3-year-old traipsing along behind me. 

 But her absence has allowed me the opportunity to edit some images of her that have been sitting on my computer for a couple of weeks now.

Ah well. I know she's having too much fun with her Grams right now, and I'm truly grateful for the break.

 

I have no idea why she was looking so concerned.

 Her fashion sense kills me.

 Playing in the Spanish moss.

 She bites her lip like I do.

 Sticks truly are the greatest toy ever invented.

The moss made a pretty good nest to hang out in.

our apartment has quite a few drawbacks, mostly that there are absolutely no parks or playgrounds within a five-mile radius.
but. there are two ponds on the property and a short little "nature trail" that works when we just need to get outdoors.
adventure friday this week was spent pretty close to home.
here's a preview:

 Fingerless gloves are appropriate in March, right? Even if it is 83 degrees out... Can you tell my child dresses herself? Accessories and all?
I'd edit more images tonight, but M is begging me to get her Dragon Book down so we can look at it. And it is the only book that she cannot play with unsupervised.
Happy Friday!
