Doing All Right

Today is laundry day and I just finished folding a huge mountain of winter clothes for Addison that I dug out of the loft this weekend. As the manager of our family finances, I have been feeling particularly impoverished lately. But as I folded the last little pair of overalls and wondered how I'll ever fit it all in his dresser, I realized that things are going to be okay. And I felt really grateful that I was sitting in the middle of a giant mound of warm and good-lookin' clothes not a single article of which we bought. And we have more than one option of what to have for dinner tonight, and it's not even going to be beans and rice.
I am blessed.

    What a good attitude. I need to remember things like that.

    I have been thinking very similar things recently. Thanks for reminding me that we're not the only ones! Our children are fed and clothed and have nice warm beds. Sometimes we need to let that be enough.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
