Beautiful Day
Yesterday was a fantastic day! One of the blues society’s Blues in the School bands performed down at the Children’s Museum and I went to shoot. Not only did my friend Patty come along, but Little Dude was there, and so was Mojo!
LD was as excited as I was about Mojo being a part of our day and he could hardly wait to get out the door.
Mojo’s pretty much back to her old self again, which is a huge relief. She looked gorgeous as she usually does. I’m always surprised when I see her because it’s hard for me to believe I could have created such a beautiful young lady.
Anyhow, we went, we had fun, we had food, and that was about it.
There was something weird that happened though. Now, I hadn’t talked with Mojo in the morning. LD had called to over to talk with her while I was getting ready. So, it was rather curious that when we went to pick her up that she and I both had on pink tops and had both chosen yellow sweaters/sweatshirts. Odd.
Also kind of strange was LD. He kept drifting off, away from either his sister or from the group as a whole. (While Patty and I were shooting, the kids went off to create and play and hang out.) When we were all back in a group, LD just couldn’t seem to focus. And I also realized that I was nervous whenever I didn’t have everyone all grouped up. I had to see everyone to feel “right”, as if out of sight was a moment away from disaster. I’m not usually like this. What’s up with that?
In the end, it was a great day and I loved having both kids with me, just hanging out. I got to listen to them talk with each other and I got to talk with them both at the same time. It gave me the warm fuzzies and I have to admit, I like my kids!
Photos at some point. Still working on Phoenix pics at this point. And now I’m fighting a sinus thing at the same time. (Pool may be out for the day, depending on how I feel when I wake up…again.)
Sounds like an awesome day! The fact that you wore the same colors…? Classic. Mojo is her mother’s daughter.

Have you read Gavin De Becker’s book The Gift of Fear? I wonder if you were having one of those moments?
I love hanging out with my kids better than anything on Earth. (My husband too. Heh.)

Haven’t read that book, but it sounds interesting.
It’s such a rare and special treat to have Mojo a part of our activities, I just relished every moment she was around. It was so wonderful. And I loved listening to her and LD talking in the back of the car while we drove. It was so cute.
Kids are such special gifts. I wish Mojo were with me all the time, but that’s not how things are and I’ll take whatever moments I get, enjoying them fully.
