matt and mommy time

yesterday, matt requested time alone with me.

i'm not quite sure what sparked the need and focus on an outing just for two, but i could tell it was important to him and off we went.

matt packed a bag with snacks, his camera and a mini-football. he suggested i bring my camera too.

so, we played catch, went on swings and checked out the tadpoles and water spiders at the lake.

afterwards matt asked me what i wanted to do next. i said i wanted to go for a walk. matt was ready to go home or go and get lemonade and freezies at the store for his brothers. he thought about it for a moment and said, 'hey, i know what we can do, we can do something that makes us both happy. i'll go for a walk with you. i don't mind. and then we can do what i want to do.'

ahhh, the joys of these little moments. moments i want to hold onto forever. i am so grateful that my passion for photography will help me to appreciate, document and capture these times both in the present and in the future.
