First Spring Walk

After dinner tonight, it was still sunny and warm-ish, so we marked the beginning of the spring season with our first family walk around the block. Last summer, we did this almost every night after dinner with baby Jemma in the stroller or the Bjorn. Tonight, she was running gleefully down the sidewalk, narrowly missing all the dog-poop landmines, wanting to catch up to Annie. It was great to be outside breathing real air and talking with neighbors; it was tiring trying to keep Jemma from heading toward the street; it was hell getting Annie to come back inside after her little taste of freedom. Friends, it's going to be an interesting summer.
