Our Day Hike In WIndsor


B finally got some time off from school and we are always jealous of friends who use their free time to explore their areas. So we decided to get out the local environment and went for a short hike at a state park in Windsor. The hills and lakes were gorgeous and Nora had a great time hiking, whether on her own for a few yards at a time or on Daddy's shoulders!



Silly Mom Things I've Done


1. Once Branden, Nora, and I were sitting on the couch watching TV together. When Nora's pacifier popped out, I automatically reached to put it back in. Except I tried to put it in the wrong mouth! Branden looked at me with the "What are you doing?!" stare as I aimed Nora's binky directly at his piehole! :) I still laugh everytime I think about it!

2. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not a pet person. In fact, most close aquaintances know that I believe "animals belong in the wild or in cages." So of course, I would be blessed with a daughter who goes bonkers every time she sees an animal, particularly dogs and cats. When we're out together I help point out dogs and cats for her, saying things like "There's a dog!" or "Do you hear that cat?" I have gotten so into the habit that even when I am not with Nora and I spot a dog, I start to say "Look! A dog!" and try to stop before I embarrass myself with whomever I am with!
