we went on a walk














We went on a walk - just her and I. Bundled in hats and coats, and wearing our boots, we walked down the driveway together.  She was singing Home by Philip Phillips, and I was snapping photos.  An almost-November wind made our eyes water and our noses turn red, but we kept walking.  Our hands began, slowly, to numb, so when I turned around, she had her fists balled in her sleeves, her face buried in her jacket.  I walked backward, watching her step on every fallen leaf she passed.  And she would look up at me every once in a while, to make sure I was still looking, still taking pictures.  I was.  So she smiled and posed and laughed.  I laughed too...with this little baby sister of mine.  I like taking walks with her.

    The song "Home" by Phillip Phillips is absolutely incredible! I can't get enough of that song. I literally squeal when I hear it on the radio. (smiles sheepishly)

  17. Such a adorable post! Yes, today would have been a beautiful day to go on a walk, although it was very cold. Your little sis is adorable, and so are you. ;)
    Enjoy her baby age while you can, because before you know it she'll be all grown up! My littlest sister, isn't so little anymore, she's five! They grow up too fast.
