Star gazing

Today was as close to a perfect day as it could get. I first made Saturday morning pancakes for the gang and then my girlfriends at the Inn at 422 for a nice brunch. We shared some good laughs and great news (Meghann is having a girl!!!). I returned home to the boys finishing their lunch and then eventually naps. I snuck out for a good run while they slept and Adam was doing some things around the house. We then headed to Pat and Willa's place for a great dinner and lots of play time. The cousins were starting to really play with each other which is so much fun to watch. It was so relaxing and nice to be able to have these spontaneous nights with them just down the street.

Tyler has recently gotten very interested in outer space and the stars. I had a Library meeting this past Thursday and came home with a bunch of books that have sparked his interest even more. When we got home from Pat and Willa's house around 7:30, Adam and Tyler took a few extra minutes to do some star gazing because the night sky was so clear. What a precious site and what a heart-warming way to end an incredibly loving day.
Adam is such a wonderful, hands-on Daddy. Hearing the two of them was precious. Tyler got so excited because he could see Orion's belt and then apparently made up his own constellation, Orion's firetruck (of course!). It was about 20 degrees outside, so the star gazing didn't last that long, but long enough to make an impression on a 3-year old!
