the countryside

David, Miles and I spent the day in Wisconsin, about an hour outside of the Twin Cities. A colleague invited us and some other women that we work with to her parents' place in the country. The land there is so beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful - something we never really experience here in the city.
A light lunch on their screened-in porch. An extensive garden tour. David's attempt at swinging over the pond - which turned out to be a very wet adventure after the swing broke and he fell into the water, soaking all of his clothes. The little ones roasting marshmellows over the fire and catching bugs and critters in their butterfly nets. Miles grasping a freshly-picked sprig of oregano.

What a relaxing way to end the weekend.

About Me

Stubborn, opinionated, academic girl meets athletic, charming, Puerto Rican boy while studying abroad in Santiago de Chile. Falling in love in a foreign country ensues. Travel, study, marry, settle, make a baby. Enter Miles Gabriel. Life with a toddler keeps us busy. We decide to add more chaos to the mix. Another baby is born. Enter Lydia Wynne. Lucky acorns. I have two and I keep them close to my heart. How about you?
