Our weekend was unseasonably warm, with temperatures reaching the mid-70s Saturday. It was also very windy -- a perfect day to fly a kite!
We bought a kite last spring for our granddaughter Avery, and the past couple of weekends she's been asking if we could fly it. We kept telling her that there wasn't enough wind, but, Saturday, my husband surprised her by getting the kite out.
There was definitely enough wind Saturday, and, needless to say, Avery was so excited she literally skipped out the door (as only a 3-1/2 year-old little girl can do). If the truth be known, her grandmama was just as excited ... but I refrained from skipping.
Isn't it wonderful how children and grandchildren can turn the simplest thing, like flying a kite, into a memorable occasion to be cherished for a very long time.
I'm so glad I thought to take my camera outside with me. Just look at the expression of pure delight on Avery's little face as she finally got to fly her kite ...
It takes a lot of concentration to fly a kite, and you have to hold your mouth just right! ...
There's just nothing like grandchildren to make you feel "young at heart," and to make you appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with this precious little girl named Avery Grace.

Oh, Janie...I can feel the love you have for this baby coming right thru my computer screen and....I can so relate to it since I am the grandmother of 7 little girls and 3 little boys. Ok, so the oldest g-daughter is 22 and the youngest is 7 and the boys are 20, 18 and 15 now, they are all STILL my babies!! :O)
You really got some great photos here, too...and AG is just beautiful.
How sweet! You really captured her concentration with her eyes up to the sky.
Janie, she's adorable, and these pictures are just marvelous! I think they are award-winning as are so many of your shots! She really is a blessing, and that smile confirms it!
XO,
Sheila :-)
How adorable! I came over to visit from Tonja's. How blessed you are to have her near! My grandchildren live across the country from me.
