Today was a good day. I had a list of to-do's and things I wanted to accomplish but most of that was pushed aside when my mom called and said she felt the need to go walking. We went walking with my baby girl who had her first forward facing stroller ride (out of the backward facing car-seat set up) which she completely adored! I noticed Wausau's version of 'Central Park' was a mess with broken trees and storm damage as we strolled through the paths but it was still a nice walk.
I'm making a note that riding the train in the park is a MUST with my little 'Short Pants' as soon as he gets home from his dads house next week! He loves his train set so much and gets more than excited even when we just ride over train tracks in the car! I forget about the park's little red train and how much he would love to go for rides and to the splash pad :)
Anyhow, my mom then offered to take us to a late lunch and shopping date where we taught 'Little Miss' how to be a girly girl;
Lunch was refreshing, being able to chat about anything and everything... the happiness in our life, the daily struggles we face, and how we're glad that in the end we have each other. My mom spoiled the kids with new clothes and accessories and she bought me a beautiful rose bracelet that happened to catch my eye today. Thank you Mom! We love you very much :)
Here's to family and the joy our children bring us!
