Birmingham Botanical Gardens

The other day I strolled with Abelle through the gardens while Braden ran around B-ham and ended up there (he is becoming quite the runner and has officially overtaken my ipod). Hanging out with her in nature is one of my very favorite things to do. I love to watch her wander around exloring earth matter. Her favorite toys are rocks and sticks. Which totally fits into our budget. My new step in the process of doing laundry is to empty out all the rocks from the washer after I've done a load of her clothes. They were already pretty stinkin clean before they went through the cycle because she licks them all before stowing them in her pockets. Be warned that if you are not my brother Tim or my Mom this slide show is a bit much-a grundle (thanks for teaching me that word Mom, I try to use it often to make my day funnier) of pics of my kid that are pretty similiar-not even an outfit change to speak of.
