Books, moving and a walk

Yesterday e and I went to story time at the nearby library, joining about 8 other children her age, mostly boys.  She stayed close most of the time, but during play time she ventured out among the others and even grabbed a block from a little boy.  She really enjoys being read to.

E and K continue to make progress in moving items from the old house and deciding where they go here.  Some rooms, like e's, are set up about the same.  But there are more rooms here, so options abound.  I have not returned to the other house yet.  Randy asked me what e thinks about the new house.  It seems to me she is fine with it.  Her people are here, her crib and toys are available, her "boys" are still underfoot,  there are still stairs to tackle, the carpet (which she spends a lot of time on)  is very similar...but it would be fascinating to be able to read her mind.

This morning e and I took our first walk in the new neighborhood.  A couple of blocks away there is a lagoon to walk along but it runs beside the street, so it doesn't seem as peaceful as the one I walk by at home.  We saw a handful of mallards swimming, but no other waterfowl; perhaps they will come as temperatures cool.  The winter grass is in full bloom now, lush green in most places.
