Avery woke up way too early this morning. But was making enough noise that since the girls are in a room together I knew I had to get up and get her out of there. It was so early that I just didn't want to expose the rest of the family to her loud ruckus just yet so we bundled up and headed to the roof top deck to watch the sunrise.
There were clouds on the horizon so we didn't actually wait long enough to see the whole sun but it went from almost complete darkness to this.
A little sliver of moon left, a litte color on the horizon and a bright bluw beginning to form. Avery was mesmerized (or maybe still a little sleepy!) and cuddled on my lap for quite a while.
It was a perfect way (albeight VERY early) to start our day together.
Plenty of outside time and noticing of birds and plants was done throughout the day but my time with Avery this morning was my favorite part of this day!

The Nitty Gritty!
Even the youngest can enjoy a quiet moment of peace in nature! It is good for their soul. And the bonding time isn't half bad either. Slowing down is not always the easiest thing to do but it can certainly be rewarding when we do and get to soak up a moment with a child.
Beautiful. It's great that she woke up so early; you got to take in a great view!
