As I rocked Kalia back to sleep at 5:00 this morning, I wondered to myself, "what kind of a reward do I get for being up this early, besides this beautiful little bundle in my arms?" (having been up since somewhere in the 3 o'clock hour)
Then I got to thinking about the sunrise and why I have NEVER seen a sunrise in Seattle. It is always grey and gloomy when the sun comes up, never any color in the sky. And then I started longing for that color, that color that marks the beginning of a new day, that color of a fresh new start. Having sunrises and sunsets as a part of my daily life growing up, it's hard for me to know the real start and end to the day. Now that it's a rarity for me, I find myself photographing the sky any chance I get. In hopes that I would be able to capture that color and store it in my memory for those mornings and evenings when I need a splash of color!
This is a picture of my friend Nicole and I admiring the sunset. Something I wish I could be doing this evening. But... chances are, there won't be one. So... I'll have to pull out a picture!!
When I came out to the living room after taking a shower, this is what I saw. Grandpa and grandma couldn't keep their eyes off of her!
Thank you to my Grandmas and cousins for the sweet cards and pajamas!! They made our day!!
and these...
totally unnecessary but, absolutely darling shoes!!
