This morning before lunch, the kids and I took a walk around the block. I push Lauryn in the stroller, and the boys run ahead to the edge of the next driveway....stop and wait for us....run ahead to the next driveway....stop and wait for us.....it's a well established routine and we make our way around the block this way. It occurred to me while we were walking that in six short months, Ryan will be in Kindergarten, and he won't be able to join us on our Wednesday mid-morning walks. I'm excited for him to start school because he's really excited about it, but I will miss him. I can't believe how time flies.
I didn't take many pictures on our walk, but this one of Dylan cracked me up. He's smelling the "flowers" (or weeds) he picked, and he's sniffing so hard I thought he might suck one up his nostril...
