bloomin' babies

Yesterday, Anna and I went to the local library for story time. They offer a program called "Babies 'N Bloom" designed for babies 0-2 years old. There were about 20 children there, Anna being one of the youngest. I sat her on a yellow mat in the circle, and she looked like such a big girl. She was so interested in watching the other children, I wonder what she was thinking. She especially seemed interested in the older children who were too busy running around in circles to be bothered by story time! We sang songs, listened to stories and played with puppets. I was a bit disappointed that when it was all over, the other moms disappeared like flies; no one stayed around to chat. Overall, though, it was nice and we will surely go again.

We were blessed with nice weather again yesterday. Anna and I spent some time outdoors in the afternoon, soaking up the sun while it was still out! Today, January made it's return. I think it is about 35 degrees outside right now and cloudy....no park today. Oh Well.

Dan has off today and tomorrow since he worked last weekend...YAY! I know he needs the break, and Anna and I love to have him home! So, today will be full of oil changes, grocery shopping and other errands. woo hoo.
