Lilacs

The most thoughtful present Drew has ever given me was a lilac tree.  He brought it home a couple of weeks after Genevieve was born.  "Thanks for giving birth to our daughter.  I got you a lilac."  He doesn't remember saying that, or even getting the tree, but every year when it blooms I remind him, just to make him blush a little.

I came across this sweetness while cleaning up kid related debris in the yard yesterday. 

Ballet slippers, ditched in first position, gently stepping on stepables.
