When the weather starts warming up I enjoy grabbing a coffee and walking down under the bridge to the jetty, sitting in the sand, and just simply enjoying time to myself while watching the sun come up.  It is an experience that never grows old.  The sun never paints the sky the same way twice. 

I was more than thrilled when Autumn asked me if she could watch a sunrise with me.  Any chance I get to have a moment ||just me and her|| sharing something that she will remember forever makes my soul light and my heart smile.  So I jumped at this chance and of course documented it with pictures.

.my heart and soul this girl is.

.toes in the sand and sunrise at hand.

.sunrise session.

.chasing gulls.

.the end.

I could not have asked for a better way to start my Easter weekend than this.  The rest of the day was packed with things to do. 

ABM and I fit in a quick work out…..

 then went and had Crepes ||yummmm|| at Bakers Crust….

 followed by a little soccer time with Autumn at the field and a never ending shopping trip.  ABM had to have a new outfit for the Easter Service that evening at Spring Branch.  Haha it was quite funny to watch her try on things and worry about what was cute and what was not.  Although it was scary at the same time as I envisioned her as a teenager being 10x worse than this! agghhhhh!! 

…It never ended…I was tired {she was not} …I was told to look ‘fun’…she called me a debbie downer of the shopping trip… where do they pick this stuff up from!!

FINALLY the shopping trip was over and mommy & ABM were happy in the end!  A perfect ending to a perfect day with ABMs perfect outfit at the Evening Easter Service at Spring Branch.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Weekend!!
