Happy Victoria and First Peoples Day!
It’s been a gorgeous summery day that was supposed to be raining. (And last week on Mother’s Day it snowed. WTF, FTW!)
Today’s feature is actually from today, for once. A beautifully simple dress, bequeathed by my friend Sally, that begs to be paired with lilacs in full bloom. CHECK! (Lilacs are among my top favourite things I would miss if I didn’t live on this planet.)
 
Sweet little decorative rose, petal sleeves, a bit of lace at the bottom. Understated, sophisticated. Right?
The simplicity allows for some fancier shoes – also handed down, from Karissa. They’re too big yet, but whatever. Also too gorgeous to pass up.
Of course, you can’t spend all day in elegance. Nearly Naked Napping is essential on warm holiday weekends.
Speaking of nudity, E had some too.
I hate to censor the joyful little dude, but I figure the face is worth posting. Fully Naked Pool-Splashing face. When I look at this photo, I want to remember how he read the words on the hose-nozzle to Papa all by himself (“mist”, “flat”, “jet”, “spray”, and “flood” – although he put the “ooh” sound in flood).
I love those kids so much.

Yes, if you can hear me from the living room, I am laughing at the censored picture. OEMGEE that is the best thing ever. Laughing so I’m crying.
Um, the other kid is cute too.
And yay hose-reading!
Yeah… it’s good how he has these awesome moments. And how I don’t take pictures of the whiny ones. 🙂
Yeah, it’s all worth it, right? I like the colour coordination in the warm weather nap, too.
True!
also, in the lilac-dress photos she looks like Auntie Beth to me.
There is a resemblance. Fo sho.
Awww. Both of you look beautiful. So happy! And that nap one is – yes – simply precious. And the hose one. Such a happy little hoser!
We think she looks like Baby Bethy.
Haha – HOSER! Yer funny. I love you.
