A collaboration

The kids and I had taken an evening trip to Grant's Park.  They love walking around reading the stories about "Owlexander".  As we were walking I spotted the amazing *backlit* bent tree.  

I immediately text Hood.

I asked if he would make me a wooden swing in exchange for pictures of Gianna. 

Three days later he text me a picture of the finished project!

I have quite the photography bucket list this year.  

This was one a was giddy to check off.

Johanna's reaction at the end almost made me weep.  

She came over and gave me a hug, she said "Thank you so much for doing that with us Mom".
I was a puddle on that forest floor.

Thank you Hood, for making me the BEST present!
