Gettin' Outside

Been a bit chilly recently -- though relatively so, I guess, considering what you family folks in VT, ME and WA are dealing with -- but lots of sun, so we've been heading for fresh air -- good for both kids, whose asthma has been acting up lately.




Kept Declan home from school today, to monitor his asthma and take him to the doctor. He asked if we could "go ride black-horse on the beach" by the house so we did. The whole time he played down there he was saying, "Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping..." over and over. What you can't really see in these pictures, of course, is black-horse, one of his favorite new toys - just a little plastic horse...



The other day after my bike ride, Elsie fell asleep on my chest. It's been a loooong time since either one did that and it felt so good.


Kaleigh came home Sunday night. We had a great time staying up late and talking over a couple beers. (Sorry Nana.)
