photos of birthday weekend continue...

...with a picnic! i've been wanting to get this little man outside somewhere verdant and breezy where he could stare up at the blue sky and feel sunshine on his fingertips and inhale the carefully curated oxygen of urban greenery. and so, on saturday, to continue my non-birthdate birthday festivities, we betook ourselves to a park with a very simple picnic of quiche, salad, watermelon and chocolate cake. in other words, all you really need to be happy.

we had planned to go to piedmont park, but got sidetracked and found ourselves pulling off at a park along ponce de leon. it was perfect, really. no parking issues, no long trek to the perfect green spot. genius. it was almost like the best of summer and my birthday, at once (and neither actually). so confusing, right? still, a perfectly adequate way to spend an afternoon. ;)

beautiful boys.

he loves standing.

this salad dressing was the extent of my cooking over the weekend and it was glorious. 

the salad dressing was only okay. 

they really dote on him. it makes me happy.

dark chocolate cake by grandma. so yummy!

i'm pretty sure that wilder had the most fun, getting tickles and snuggles from grandpa.
