I love that there are seasons. It makes those first few sun moments all that more sweet and fresh.

Oh, how I adore winter, but I am finally embracing spring. Now, if we could just skip summer COMPLETELY, I'd be all shades of happy. Kind of like Adelaide's shades.
Posted by: Jodi | May 07, 2008 at 08:52 AM
I love the look of concentration on her face. She looks very determined! The sun is good.
Posted by: Siew | May 07, 2008 at 09:23 AM

Okay, how do you get Adelaide to keep her sunglasses on?
Posted by: Cheryl | May 07, 2008 at 10:01 AM
I can feel the warmth in this picture - love the shades!
Posted by: Anne | May 07, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Wow. For once the sun in Maine outshines the sun in California (it rained last night.) I'm glad you're getting a chance to be outside! We spent yesterday inside planning and throwing a birthday party for our imaginary cat, Miko, inspired by The Creative Family.
Thank you for sharing your everyday with us. Whether you know it when you're photographing/writing it or not, it really does inspire more creativity all across the country every day. By the way, I love the new Spring blog banner!
Posted by: Linn | May 07, 2008 at 10:09 AM

Another one who loves the sunglasses. ;) That warm, toasty sun looks awesome.
Posted by: Laura Reaux | May 07, 2008 at 10:31 AM
I think my little girl has the same PJs! But different sunglasses :) It looks like Adelaide is into making "mountains" or "M's" as my little one is too...
Posted by: Allison | May 07, 2008 at 10:33 AM
LOVE the shades! Love love love.
Posted by: Amy | May 07, 2008 at 10:37 AM

I did that exact same thing all the summer vacations: woke up, got outside in my pijamas with a couple of pencils and acuarels and my daughter, and started drawing under the sun!
