morning light

i was up at the usual 5:15 this morning and i was feeling a little sorry for myself that i was up before the sun. don't get me wrong, i love being with eliot in the morning, he is so loving and happy at that time, but its early! then, as if to talk back, the sun started to sneak up over the horizon and gave me a beautiful show while i was feeding eliot his breakfast. i had to interrupt him to get my camera and then i kept interrupting him to continue taking pictures. he was a little annoyed and at one point he got a hold of the applesauce bowl and dug right in. i suppose it is about time i let him experiment with a spoon on his own : ). after that i felt much more in tune with the day and glad that i was up so early after all.

we rounded out the afternoon with a much needed trip to the grocery store and some time at the park. it was absolutely the most perfect weather day outside with no humidity and about 72 degrees. perfect. i also got a lot of crafting done during nap time. i am almost done with my swap goodies. i am much more excited about them now that i have committed to an idea and they are taking shape. although, i have about 6 more ideas that have come along during the making of these, heh. i cant wait to show them off!

enjoy these pictures of the morning light! i didn't edit them at all and tried to get the color balance to be exactly like it looked...
