Strolling


My View


Eli waiting patiently for his sister to gather sticks

Whiskers the bunny joined us too!

Even the smallest puddles are hard to resist!

Lily showing her brother the sticks she collected


It's spring here and our little winter baby is finally able to meet the sun on a regular basis!:) These pictures are from Eli's very first walk with me (and Lily and Indy) here in Maine! Previous to this he had only been on two walks before (one with me in Florida and the other with Joe at home). Isn't that crazy? I guess that's what happens when you are born in Maine at the end of November! We had a great time on this walk- Lily collected sticks in her bucket and we just took our time strolling and enjoying being outside. And I've learned that when Eli is outside strolling he is a very happy baby-not a single unhappy peep out of him- just a few giggles here and there! Being outside is good for ALL of us and we will be taking MANY more in the next few months. Joe feels loved when we help him by walking the dog, Lily and I get some fresh air and a little bit of exercise, and Eli is happy! And some days we even learn a little about the world that God created (like tonight the three of us learned how dark clouds mean that rain is coming)! So we ended up a little wet tonight- but it was still worth it!
P.S. Thanks to Nonnie and Grampy for this fantastic double stroller- I love it! Thanks too to one of our sweet ministry supporters who made Eli this adorable sweater and to our friend Jennifer who bought him these precious fuzzy bear pants! We are well taken care of!
