sunshine

We've had some gloomy weather these past few weeks, so when we caught sight of some sunlight we instantly packed everyone in the car and headed out. We had no agenda besides spending time outside with one another.
The older two quickly  started running around exploring and for the first time I noticed the eagerness in Hawk's face to do  the same. I am not sure if it's because he's so little in size or because he's the baby but I am more tentative to put him down and let him explore. My fear quickly subsides and joy filled my heart at seeing him pick up sticks and mimic his brothers and toss tiny rocks into the water. His smile and giggles said it all he loved every second of it. I was so glad I was able to set aside my apprehension and take in this great moment.
