A EVENING AT THE PARK

THESE WERE TAKEN ABOUT A YEAR AGO AT DUNCAN PARK. OH MY! HASN'T MY LITTLE SWEETHEART GROWN SO MUCH IN A YEAR. STILL AS ADORABLE AS EVER, BUT MUCH MORE LITTLE GIRL LIKE THAN TODDLER LIKE AS SHE IS IN THESE IMAGES.

AFTER NATALIE WOKE UP FROM HER NAP TODAY AND AFTER I FINALLY FINISHED EDITING MY NEXT TO LAST SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSION, WE TOOK NATALIE TO DUNCAN PARK. WE DIDN'T SPEND MUCH TIME THERE. JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR HER TO WORK UP HER APPETITE AND GET DIRTY. OF COURSE, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE. SHE WAS SO SWEET WHEN WE GOT THERE. WHEN WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE, I TOLD HER WHERE WE WERE GOING. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER US GOING LAST YEAR OR SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING WHEN I TOLD HER WHAT WERE DOING. (SHE UNDERSTAND SO MUCH THESE DAYS AND HER CONVERSATION SKILLS ARE VERY ADANCED FOR HER AGE, BUT OCCASSIONALLY SOMETHING WILL COME UP THAT SHE JUST DONE UNDERSTAND. AND OH MY! SHE QUESTIONS IT AND ASKS YOU TO REPEAT IT ABOUT 1/2 DOZEN TIMES THINKING THAT WILL MAKE UNDERSTAND AND THAT WAS SORT OF THE CONVERSATION WE HAD ABOUT GOING TO THE PARK WHILE WE WERE GETTING READY. AT ONE POINT SHE SAID, 'YOU MEANT THE BALL PARK' WHICH, OF COURSE, THE PARK THAT SHE HAS BEEN TO THE MOST OFTEN AND THE MOST RECENT. WHAT HER LEARN AND GRASP CONCEPTS ARE SO NEAT TO ME.) BUT AS SOON AS WE GOT THERE AND SHE SAW WHERE SHE WAS SHE GOT ALL EXCITED. SHE REMEMBERED! AS I WAS GETTING HER OUT OF THE CAR, SHE SAID, "I LOVE YOU, MIMI AND I LOVE THE PARK AND POPPA, TOO". SHE THEN KISSED ME. WHAT A GREAT MOMENT TO HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF ENJOYING WITH MY SWEET LITTLE NATALIE.



AS I WAS GATHERING MY STUFF TO LEAVE HERE: MY MINI SHOPPING LIST FOR WAL-MART, A BAG FOR NATALIE, MY PURSE AND MY CAMERA BAG...I MADE MENTAL NOTE TO SELF: "DON'T FORGET TO GET A MEMORY CARD OFF MY DESK". GUESS WHAT I FORGOT. YEAH, YOU GOT IT THE CARD. AFTER I GAVE NATALIE TO RANDY, I WENT BACK TO GET MY CAMERA...THAT'S WHEN I REMEMBERED. SO I HAVE NO PHOTOS TO REMEMBER OUR FUN TIME AT THE PARK, BUT I HOPE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW SWEET AND APPRECIATIVE SHE WAS ABOUT US TAKING HER TO THE PARK. OF COURSE, IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD FOR WORKING SO MUCH ALL THE TIME AND NOT TAKING MORE TIME OFF TO JUST HAVE FUN WITH MY LITTLE SWEETHEART AT THE PARK OR ON THE PORCH DRAWING WITH CHALK (ANOTHER ACTIVITY WE DID THIS WEEK).



I DON'T HAVE TIME TO WORK ON THE IMAGES RIGHT NOW, BUT I AM GOING TO POST SOME IMAGES FROM AN AFTERNOON AT THE PARK WITH NATALIE LAST YEAR. IT'S SO NEAT TO SEE HOW MUCH SHE HAS GROWN AND CHANGED.


OKAY, I WILL HAVE TO ADD AT LEAST ONE TO ENTICE YOU TO LOOK AGAIN TO SEE MORE. LET ME GO SEE WHICH ONE IT WILL BE. OKAY HERE WE GO AGAIN. IF YOU POST IMAGES AFTER YOU POST TEXT...THEY GO ABOVE THE TEXT. SO YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE IMAGES BY THE TIME YOU READ THE INFO.

I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, BUT I HOPE TO FIND A CHANCE TO POST SOME MORE KITTEN IMAGES AS WELL AS SO MORE FROM THIS DAY ABOUT A YEAR AGO.
