What a beautiful night for a moon walk! The girls cozied up in their pajamas, snuggled into the stroller and off we went for a lovely walk in the winter night.
I began taking my little ones for moon walks when Luke was just a babe, really. I'd strap him on in a carrier just before bedtime and walk. They started as summertime walks. We'd stroll around the neighborhood looking at houses and dreaming of someday. When he was a bit older, they turned into wintertime moon walks. We'd bundle up many nights and head out into the cold, crisp air and look for animal tracks and admire the snow clinging to the trees in the moonlight. Our walks became fewer and further between with the arrival of each of his sisters. But we're now finally to a point where taking all three out into the beautiful night is a bit more feasible. Oh, the novelty of enjoying the outdoors and exploring in the moonlight for me, is delightful. Now imagine being a child again. How I hope that these are the things they'll remember. Moonwalks. I, for certain,will always carry fond memories of these times.
And so very soon, we will be able to take a moon walk in one of my absolutely favorite places on earth...I can't wait!
Unfortunately I have no good pictures to post today. In fact, I can't say I have a single photo from today. And breakfast, although I did eat it, was nothing spectacular. A banana and a bowl of raisin bran eaten standing at the counter watching the coffee brew and hoping I'd get a cup and hop in the shower before any children woke.(I did! Score for me!...it's the little things that make my day.)
