Sometimes being unpractical gives you the greatest joy ;)

Yesterday was the Kentucky Derby.  Phil and I remembered this early in the morning and once the coffee kicked in we made a spontaneous plan to do a "derby day" shoot with Little Miss N.  Our prop hunt led us to Toys/Babies 'R Us where we picked out Nory's first horse (one horn short of a unicorn) who is pink, gorgeous and somehow ended up with the name "Petunia".  A new outfit, big hat, and pretty beads were also part of the purchase which had us smiling BIGGER THAN EVER as we made our payment at the check-out.  The sales staff thought we were ridiculous (they didn't have to voice this) and you know what, I think we were too.  People - just picture Phillip carrying this not-so-small-when-you-have-to-carry-it horse out of the store with a HUGE GRIN on his face.  Proud as ever!  It was the funniest HAPPY PAPA moment ever.  We drove home extra excitedly.

Then THIS happened and BY GOLLY it was FUN:

Oh my goodness.  I love her.  I love him.  I love US. 

What a wonderful Saturday morning.
