Fresh Air

Baby Sister loves going outside, even when it's just sitting on the front steps or walking in the yard. With her fair skin, we always look for shade. Even when she was a newborn, walking outside seemed to soothe her if she was fussy. And it still does most of the time. Thank goodness.

I realized not long ago that except for a couple of photos of me and a brand new Baby Sister, there are no others of the two of us together. I'm always the one with the camera--even for this photo. So, look carefully at the blue-jeaned knee and at the fingers wrapped around the baby. That's me.
