Poppy and I took advantage of the beautiful weather today to lounge and play under the tree in the backyard. Rockford moved the playpen outside for us, and I spread the Army blanket out next to it. I finished reading “Atonement” while Poppy played in the pen.

Between the soft breeze, the warm sun and the happy, chattering baby, I think I can safely mark it as one of my favorite afternoons ever.
