Brrrr!

Although the sun was shining brightly this morning, the wind was very strong and I was cold as e and I took our walk.  I wore a long-sleeved shirt and light jacket, but the wind cut right through them and I wished I had put on a heavy sweatshirt; e also wore a long-sleeved shirt, heavy sweater, jeans and socks.  I tucked a blanket around her and hoped she was warm enough.  The stroller provides some protection, but we did cut our walk a bit short.  This was the coldest I've been outside since arriving in March, I think.  The temperature was probably mid-50's.

We attended lap-sit story time again today.  You'd be surprised at how still e sits during the stories.  She especially likes the bubbles which are blown at the end of the formal time, staring up at them and sometimes trying to catch one in her hand.  There were more children present than at previous sessions, and for some reason the event had been moved to a different area of the library, which felt more crowded.  But e interacted with others during the playtime, and that's why we go.

K left for Charlotte, NC this morning for several days of meetings relating to a work project.  So it's just us girls.  His mom and step-dad were here over the weekend, and they helped with various projects in both houses, such as taking the large TV off the wall.  E found and bought a red couch/sectional for the family room off the kitchen, which adds a sense of fun to the space.  Gradually boxes are being emptied.
