Nature

We haven't received much snow this winter. I like winter...I like snow. My main complaint is that if there is no snow it might as well be warm enough for us to go out for a family walk-which it has been a few days in the last couple months (absurd in January and February!). But, we got ONE snow back in February. Bradley thought we needed to bundle Arya up and take her out in the snow. She was fine with sitting there getting her picture taking, but she didn't like touching the snow. And I know she doesn't have gloves on and that makes us look like irresponsible parents-but that was so she could feel the snow (and we were only outside for a few quick minutes to take pictures.)

"What is this stuff?"

"Yay! It's fun!"

As I said we have been taking walks whenever possible. It's good to get fresh air and exercise. It's also just nice to get out of the house! The last couple of times we have hung out in the yard for Arya to explore nature a bit. She needs to- I mean come on, her daddy is an Eagle Scout. She isn't sure about walking on the uneven ground but she is getting steadier. I have to prevent her from putting sticks and leaves in her mouth. One of her favorite things is feeling the bark on trees. Here Daddy is telling her about nature and describing the things she sees and feels.
