I thought I’d take a moment to share with you my favorite part of the day.
Every day, weather permitting, Dustin, Jordan — and, now, Savannah — and I go for a walk around our neighborhood after dinner.
Dustin and I typically walk about 3 miles while we push the girls in their stroller.
Not only is this walk a great way to get exercise, fresh air and have some family time, but we also love the beautiful views along the way.
We have noticed it has become a necessary de-escalation time from the day. When we can’t go on our walk, either for weather, time-constraints or health reasons, we get antsy and sad.
This walk has also turned into a time when Dustin and I can talk. Like, actually talk. We discuss finances, the business, how his day was at work, what homes we like along the way, our plans and all that necessary “talk.”
I took all these photos about a week before Savannah was born, so please forgive the lack of photos of the new lil’ one. We have since upgraded to a double jogging stroller and don’t get me started on how long it took us to finally pick that out!
I wanted to share this special time with you.
I hope you enjoy these photos. We certainly enjoyed taking them.
Have a wonderful weekend!
You live in a beautiful neighborhood in Austin! It’s getting way too hot to go outside during the day again in Texas so I hope you’re enjoying these cooler evening walks
Hi Rooth! Yes, it has been much too hot for day-time walks, unfortunately. We are trying to take walks in the morning now to beat the heat.
It is my favorite part of my day also. 🙂 Luv u! Your photos are getting better and better they look great.
Thanks, Dustin! I’m so glad we have found something we love to do with the kids every night. Luv u too! 🙂
Love it! I try to get out with the kids every day for a walk and it’s one of the best parts of my day. Exercise, fresh air, and the kids get worn out. 🙂 Great photos!
Thanks for stopping by, Tara! Yep — the walks are a win-win for all 🙂
Beautiful! I feel more relaxed just looking through your photos. Dusk is my favorite time of day, as well. Something about a day well spent and a setting sun just makes everything seem right in the world. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad my photos help you relax. I think I will be coming back to this post when I can’t go on a walk just for that reason.
