I have to admit that before we had Abby, I didn’t always look at the “less eventful” moments as being some of the most precious moments. Of course, the day I met Shaun, the day I married him and the day Abby was born are forever precious to me. However, there are the smaller moments in life that are just as wonderful and just as precious. Like our trips to the park for example.

Abby and I love to go to the park when we can steal a moment. Its such a great way to get out, get some fresh air, spend some mommy/Abby time together and give Abby the chance to really stretch her legs. So yesterday we made sure to take the time and go. We hopped into the car and headed to Conejo Creek Park behind the Thousand Oaks Library, one of my favorites. We hit the swings first, which made Abby so happy. She loves the swings and I am sure the pictures I have prove that. We also tried out the baby slide for the first time and that was a hit. She loved it so much that when it was time to go, Abby had a bit of a meltdown. Oh well, after a snack and picking out a few books at the library… it was as though the meltdown never happened.

The thing I cherish most about our trips out to the park are Abby’s giggles and laughs when she is truly happy and having fun. That giggle and her smile melt my heart and make my day. These are moments I will cherish for eternity.
