Three Brothers Makes Lots of Girl Time

We recently found out we are expecting baby boy #3. Our daughter (child #1), desperately wanted a sister, but unfortunately for her, another boy it is. So I promised her that she and I would get lots of girl dates together. And she hasn't forgotten. She has mentioned several times in the past week (we've only known for a week) that we need to go on a date. So tonight we went on a date and did our favorite things. Her favorite thing is to eat ice cream, and mama's favorite thing is to take pictures. We had a blast :)

Therapy

I discovered today that taking pictures is almost like therapy to me. Whenever I'm stressed, excited, or nervous, I find it soothing to take pictures. I know, it's kind of strange :) I guess we all have our things though that help us relax. I found these beautiful flowers at my parents' home today, and just had to take a picture.
