a friday away from the office

0603fallswI had a family shoot over in St. Paul on Thursday night, and I snapped this image of the water falls near Como before I plopped the family in for their images. It was such a gorgeous night, and there was a jazz band playing in the pavilion and there were food and drinks and a lake and wildlife and... yeah. I just loved it. And it wasn't even crowded!Anyway, I took Friday off from work and played hooky with Ezra all day today. And I left my camera at home (blasphemy!). But seriously, I'm busy enough being one-on-one with the kid that I don't have time/energy to take photos. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, just not yet. Today, we had donuts (National Donut Day!) and we went to a toddler yoga class and we bought groceries and napped and played and went for a long walk. It was wonderful, and I'm so happy that I have a flexible schedule so that I can enjoy these days with him.For your internet share of the day, I know I have linked to many articles by/about the lovely Nora, but I just finished her book (and really loved it). If you are looking for something to read this summer on a flight or something that's easy and quick, I really suggest it. Also? I loved this essay she wrote for Slate.Have a great weekend everyone!
