I was really disappointed about missing a nice sunshine walk this week. I knew this warmer weather wasn’t going to last. The cold was coming back, and it was coming quickly. It was bright and sunny this morning, but I heard the temperature was falling and the wind was going to pick up. Figuring this was my only chance for a walk until who knows when, I decided to go for it. Maybe we’d get stuck in the cold wind, but maybe we’d make it back in time. It was a risk worth taking.

HERE COMES THE SUN
It’s amazing what the sun and a little warmth can do to someone.  I’ve been so excited for a little warmth and some sun for a long time now.  We’vehad sunny days this winter, but they were on days when the high was 9. But yesterday it was sunny AND warm! Everybody was in a good mood and smiling. Ellie was even so energetic she didn’t want to nap at all. I really wanted to go for a walk, outdoors! But I had to run a few errands so I was postponing a walk until today. It was supposed to be warmer today anyways. It was going to be perfect. Even though I was out and about in the car, it didn’t stop me from enjoying the weather. There I was, cruisin’with my shades on, a cracked window, and bustin’some AC/DC. It made me even more excited for my walk today.

Portobello, Red Pepper, & Goat Cheese Sanwiches
Grilled portobello, red pepper, and goat cheese sandwich, with leftover beet porscht soup, and a fresh garden salad. The first time I made this I splurged and bought the foccacia bread. This time I cheaped out and used regular bread. It’s totally worth it getting the fancy bread. The red peppers I used were from a jar, so it was really quick and easy to through this together.

BABY STEPS
Ellie and I did an eleven week course “baby time” in the fall. The winter break was over and the classes were starting again, but she had graduated to the “walkers” group. I was so excited for this to start. It was a little earlier in the day which would work better for her potential nap. The first day of class arrived and I was ready. Or so I thought. My excitement quickly turned to panic once we arrived in the parking lot.

KISS, A COLD, AND SOME CRACK
Ellie started showing symptoms of a cold on Friday. We weren’t overly concerned because she didn’t have a fever and her spirits were still just as usual. Well, as the weekend progressed, so did her cold making it an interesting Monday. Continue reading “KISS, A COLD, AND SOME CRACK”
