Uptown

I took Miles and Griffin to Discovery Place today.  The museum was recently renovated/reopened and it was fun to check out the new exhibits.  On the way back to car, I snapped a few pictures.

Feel like I need to learn how to use photoshop, so I can soften up the shadows under Griffin's eyes, maybe make his eyes stand out more - but oh well.  One thing at a time, I guess.  I still think he's cute.

I swear, Miles has an addiction to squeezing and picking up Griffin.  Neither one of them is looking at me, but who cares.  This is so them.  DSC_0207

And, just a few random stops on the way to our car.

On our way to the car, Miles asked me why I don't work.  I told him that I've decided to stay home with he and his brothers instead (this question is always tricky for me, as I love being able to model being a loving stay-at-home mother right now but I also want the boys to know that many strong, amazing women and mothers work outside of the home too and I want them to feel confident and comfortable, supportive and proud no matter which paths their futures wives/daughters take).  Anyway, he said, "no mom, I mean you take so many pictures, you should just go ahead and be a photographer."  :)  What a sweet, supportive guy already -- or could he just be tired of the lens always pointed in his direction?  Who knows....who really knows.... :)
