the difference between this week and last

Since the weather has been getting better, the girls and I have been trotting down the hill to the library. I'm not really sure how far it is from our home, but I do know that we do not trot back up the hill on the way home. Because our hill is so very steep, I decided to try to take an alternate route in hopes that it would be less hilly (the walk is about a mile, I think, I'm really not very good with distances... It takes us about fifteen minutes to get to the library, downhill all the way. Seems like about a mile). The alternate route turned out to be a bit on the long side, and there were dark rain clouds looming over us when we left to go to the library. Luckily it did not rain until a couple hours after we got home. I am sooo thankful! It wasn't one of those nice drizzly rains that makes me want to dance, it was one of those "Oh dear! (or some other nicety) I really don't need a shower that bad, lets get in the house" sort of rains.


So this week, I learned that the Lord blessed us by holding back the rain, that we should probably stick to the regular route, and that Lucy does not crawl at the library any longer.

She does this:

{there will be a movie here someday}

She's walking!

All over the place! She started the day before Easter, and now I can't get her to stop! I'll post a video soon, because she's just so cute.

Uh oh! Another walking child!! We wanted Emma to walk to badly and she ended up walking at 9 months! I told Jacob walking with this next one will not be encouraged like it was with Emma! Good luck!

I can't believe she is walking. Well now it's double the trouble, there will be no stopping her now :)It's so cute when they first learn how to walk!
