Adventures in Walking!

What to notice about this picture... the swing that's out again, the new (to us) chair and desk that were purchased at the "toot'n'holler", the stroller covered in black mould waiting for the bulky garbage pick-up, AND the child in the window.  We bought a step stool when Alice was born so Kate could climb up to things and it has become permanently located in the window.  This is where you can find Kate in the morning waving goodbye to dad, and in the evening, waving hello!  
 Today we went on a walk.  It was getting later in the afternoon and Kate hadn't wanted to nap and we were out and Kate just wanted to keep walking, so we kept walking.  I thought that since she was in such a walking mood we would walk to Antoinette's house.  We were maybe another 10 minutes from her house when Kate just wouldn't wake any more.  That's when I should have turned around... but it took me another 5 minutes to realize that Kate was falling asleep.  That's when the walk took a turn for the ridiculous.  I had Kate dead asleep on my shoulder and Alice in the stroller.  I wasn't sure how I was going to make it home but seeing as I had no options I just kept walking.  I stopped to adjust a few times.  When I got home I just laid Kate out on the couch.

Kate passing out whenever and wherever reminds me of someone.
