A Peaceful Photo Shoot

It was the most beautiful day today.  Perfect for a drive in the country.  And perfect for a three year old to have his photos taken by our favorite photographer, Tom!  He must know us well, or at least me :)  Take us to the country, where you can't hear the noises of a busy city and where the train tracks are only used for these types of things:

We decided that we wanted Parker to look like Parker!  No bowties (even though they are cute) no "clown suites" and no uncomfortable button down shirts.  So jeans, a cotton (orange) shirt with a pullover-type jacket....that's it!  And it was perfect for the rugged setting we were in.  After about 30 minutes of running on the tracks, tossing rocks and smiling a lot, we were done.  We must be the easiest customers he has.  Tom left and we stayed a while and explored the country.

And this afternoon, Tom sent me this :)

The rest of our day was spent playing outside, building with the new Legos, I took a cat-nap and made some fresh fruit pancakes for the week, Bryan and Parker Skyped with Mimi & Grandpa and an early bedtime for the boy.  Since both of the boys are off tomorrow from work and school, we are going to spend another day together, enjoying some, fingers crossed, nice weather!
