My Girls and I

Before Addison came home Riley and I use to have a date once a month, and we would go to Starbucks for "Coffee" and breakfast, after we dropped the boys of for school on a Friday morning. It is something we always looked forward to, just the two of us. We would go to Riley's favorite location (one looking out on Bear Creek walking trails) sometimes the trees would be full of leaves, or full of snow, or full of beautiful orange leaves. And we would find two cozy comfy chairs in the window and enjoy the view and have a lovely conversation over breakfast.

Well Riley brought up how much she missed that.....and really so have I, so I suggested that we go with Addison as well. Riley loved the idea and off we went yesterday morning. This location is usually really quiet in the morning at 9AM, you mostly see people in the drive thru or running in for coffee on their way to work, so we basically had the whole place to ourselves. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves Riley was thrilled that we got her favorite seats, and Addison loved watching the cars go by through the window, I, well I enjoyed watching my girls. Sometimes I forget to see things through their eyes. Riley was trying to "be and adult" with her legs crossed and a napkin in her lap. Addison was in awe that her hot chocolate came in a "coffee cup" just like Mom's. They were perfect little ladies. We enjoyed the beauty of all the leaves that are now mostly on the ground and talked about what we had to do that day. It was a magical little moment where both the girls got along and didn't interrupt each other for my attention. It was as close to perfect as one can hope for. I now look forward to this monthly date with my girls:)

Here are some more pictures of the girls from our sneak peek of the photo session we had a few weeks ago, I can't wait to see them all a pick a few shots for canvasses!
