MIMI

Our firstborn Mimi just announced to me that she would like to be officially added to mom's blog- so in her honour I am posting some of my favorite photos of her through the years along with one of our favorite children's poems....it sums up the beauty and airy personality of my daughter perfectly. I am so glad she's my little girl.

THE SWING

HOW do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

-Robert Louis Stevenson
