MAMA MOMENTS ON THE FARM

Although the human poodle sufficed for a complete experience at the Fair. K.C and I continued on to see the sights and live the experience to the fullest. A trip to the "Little Hands on the Farm" was in order. Lady sported a darling little apron and mini bushel basket. Did I mention how darling it was?
She filled her bushel with feed for the cows, picked apples, planted a carrot seed and then reaped the benefits of planting a garden. Something yours truly neglected this year.
She fell in love with a pink tractor, collected an egg and headed off to the farmers market where she made a killing. She sold her apple, carrot and egg for $1. She marched her little self over to the farm store where she shopped around for a snack. Spent her dollar and made out like a bandit.






































When I was buckling her back into the Chariot my eyes swelled with tears. I tasted their salty dips run down my cheeks and across my lips. These experiences are what I day dreamed of when waiting to become a mama. Last Friday was another Mama Moment. I felt as if I had a light brighter than any human eyes could see - bursting out of my chest and shining across the world. I was so filled with joy for the moment I was in. I wiped my tear and squeezed my little Lady buglet and steered the Chariot toward the Sea Lion Show where we continued to have the funnest State Fair experience ever.

Shan, you are THE BEST MOM! Layla is so freaking lucky and blessed to have you. And without a doubt you have one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL looking babes I have EVER layed eyes on. She is perfection to a T! I love the piggies, her gorgeous and cute little face, her walking little body..... she is getting so big but still so cute and little. I really just want to squeeze her.

Sounds like the best day. Wish we could have been right there with you all.
