A week in the life: Monday

I have been wanting to do something called "a week in the life" by Ali Edwards for quite some time and this week I finally started. Basically, it is a challenge to capture everyday life, your routines, schedule, special little moments and well as random things like what you eat for breakfast, what your child looks like when they are throwing a fit... ect. Sometimes I get so caught up capturing picture perfect moments and neglect to capture the everyday ordinary ones that compose my day. Below are just a few pictures I took today. There are not my best photos but I do feel that they capture the essence of my day

7:30am Amelia wakes up and I bring her into bed for a snuggle and a nurse.



After she is done nursing she rolls over and snuggles up to her daddy.



Nathaniel spent most of the morning reading a book in bed.



10:30 Off for a run in the meadow - wish I had more pictures of this... tomorrow Nathaniel promised he would take some of me actually running.



11:30am Nathaniel mowing our mostly "uphill" lawn.



12:00 Picking what remains of the flowers before Nathaniel mows them down.



Amelia "helping"
