April 10th...
Today was a very quiet, snoozy day for the most part. Both kids took really heavy duty naps today and I got to lay out on the couch and watch forensic files! I love it when that show is on over and over again...I can't turn it off! They both finally awoke around 3:30 and I decided it was so nice outside, we should probably take advantage of it. I feel bad when we don't do anything all day, Cael is a growing boy and he needs his exercise. So we headed back to the greenway trails to see if it looked different now that spring has sprung, and it does! it's beautiful!
There was another family pulling up just as we did, we were about 30 seconds ahead of them as we started down the trail. Cael wanted to walk and I laughed as I was telling him to "stay with me, or get back in the stroller" because the lady behind us was saying the exact same thing to her son! Sure enough, they caught up to us in no time and we had no choice but to walk together! They had a big german shepard, a puppy of the same, and a little boy exactly his size...there was no way Cael was letting them go! So we walked together, had a few scares with the boys trying to walk down the mountain instead of on the trail, a few scraped knees from them running ahead and tripping over each other...but isn't that what little boys are supposed to do? That's exactly why I wanted to get out today, so Cael could run around! I didn't plan on making new friends, but that was an added bonus. The mom, Stephanie, and I had a great talk and we are probably going to take the kids to the museum tomorrow so we can see what that is all about! I am really liking it down here. The scary part is...how long until the friends I make start leaving? I am not going to kid myself, this is a military post and nobody stays forever. I am sure harder times are coming, but right now, I think I am doing pretty good.
We love you Derrick and can't wait to show you all of our discoveries!!!
