the last time i met up with these littles i brought live chicks. not kidding.

their moms are a part of a seriously awesome stroller strides group. not only do they workout together, but they also have activities outside of the weekly workouts: baby showers, parties, luncheons, boutique fairs, and bi maybe tri annual pictures. every time i associate with these women (and their children) i leave feeling uplifted because i laughed a little harder, shared my heart a little more, and felt loved a little deeper. i want to be a part of their group of “sweaters” because i feel so connected to them as mothers and people trying to make a difference in the lives of their children,and in the world around us. (my busy schedule keeps me from joining, but i totally- wholeheartedly would, otherwise.) they are good people with good hearts, and gorgeous children with great personalities. these babies are lucky to have those mommies.

like i said, the last time we met was in the spring. i wrangled up some live chicks and with the help of some friends kept everything, chicks and kids, in the coup. this year we decided to keep things a bit more contained; i didn’t find any livestock to incorporate into the shoot. just a rad barrel and some darling monkeys.

enjoy.
