Getting ready to walk to the library last week...

(I love the fact that Sam is trying to figure out how he can get Poppy's hat in his mouth.)

(I love that Poppy is always so patient with him when he pokes her in the eye or pulls her hair.  She always considers those to be signs of affection.)

We needed to pick up some books I had on hold at the library one night last week.  The weather was just starting to get nice, but it was still cold and icy and there was mud everywhere, so I wanted to drive there.  Marc insisted that we bundle up and walk (it is only a block from our house).  And I am soooo glad we walked.  It felt so good to get outside!  I am soooo ready for spring!  I am ready for summer and sunshine and the beach!

It is still yucky and muddy outside, but I think another walk to the library is in order for tonight.  I'm hoping the book I requested for our online art class is ready.  Speaking of our art class, today is the first day.  I can't wait for Poppy to wake up from her nap so we can get started!
