Special notes:

A few things we did today: went to the grocery store (again!), went hiking on the Miami trails, went for a nice walk this afternoon, hung out in the middle room, practiced the alphabet

General notes: The kids really enjoyed getting out on the trail today. They both walked almost the entire time, minus a the last little bit when I picked up Sammy. Sammy, of course, was significantly slower than Flora (and he was also more distracted by things like sticks and dirt piles), so Flora was the leader the entire time. She would walk for a bit and then turn around and wait patiently for us to catch up a bit, and then she would take off again. I hated to hold her back, but there’s only so much we can do… :) She did really well, even slowing down to carefully step over tree roots. I hope we have a few more nice days so I can take the kids out again. There’s just something about being outside…for them, AND for me. :)
