friends + songs + crayons

This is how Cate starts most of her days ...

Usually not long after we wake up, we walk with Jaclyn, Luke + Norah. Even though they see each other nearly every day, they get excited at the first sight of their friend. Today Luke was especially loving, as you can see above. He had important things to tell her and then went in for a kiss.

It's no secret some kid music is just annoying. Well, I have a solution, although I doubt I'm the first to make this discovery: Slugs & Bugs & Lullabies by Andrew Peterson and Randall Goodgame. It's a bonus that Greg + I are already Andrew Peterson fans.

Cate has liked to "draw" for quite some time now, but just recently has she gotten to enjoy crayons at restaurants. The temptation to eat them has died down.

As you can see, she's rather possessive of the allotment of crayons. While she colors with one, she hoards the rest earlier today while we were at Applebee's with Holly + Katie.
