milwaukee date day



since we showed chicago off to ellery, we thought it was time to show her just how great her hometown of milwaukee is! so the three of us had a little date day. the lakefront is beautiful, there is always something fun - like a festival or event - going on, and unlike chicago, going downtown is so easy and finding parking is a breeze! so, off we went for a little stroll along the gorgeous lake michigan.

i love soaking up days when the three of us can be together! we had such a wonderful time just walking along the lake (though it was a little chilly!). we stopped for lunch at a pretty random restaurant (if you could call it that! it was more of a glorified concessions stand) right on the water, and even grabbed some ice cream at the kite store. and we ended the day with a little family photo shoot. perfect.

it was one of those days when you do ordinary life stuff - like walk and talk with your husband, take in just how beautiful God's creation is, or gaze into the big eyes of your daughter - and realize just how precious and full of joy that life can be. even in the simple moments. i love it.


nursing on-the-go: it actually worked :)


ellery's first food: ice cream! (just kidding...)


"please, dad??"

"enough with the pictures, mom & dad!
i'm just going to hide under my hat!"
