On the Front Porch

There's just something about a front porch.

We don't have one here at our house, but I'm always glad to enjoy other people's front porches.  Even if the front porch happens to belong to Cracker Barrel...  ;-)

Yesterday, a Cracker Barrel front porch was a fun place for Moriah--and her big brothers and some of her cousins--to play, especially after hours spent confined in the van.  She found joy in the simple activity of crawling around (and occasionally standing up like the big girl that she's becoming!), and I found joy in watching her.  :)

She's all peaches & cream--a dream come true!  :)

When she stands up...

 ...she often looks around...

 ...to see if anyone is watching her and noticing her great accomplishment.  :)

A front porch is a perfect place...

...to play (or watch!)...

 ...a friendly game of checkers.  :)

I think the world might be a much better place if we all took more time to sit around and relax on front porches.  ;-)
