all downhill from here

Figuratively.  I'm talking about how well our family walks start, and how much they just fizzle out, no matter how long or short they may be.  Fletcher and Rowan start out so gung-ho, so LET'S DO THIS THING.  Fletcher starts running out in front, and then circles back to us, over and over.  Rowan does the same, just in smaller circles.  We have a nice stroll, I take the time to stop and take pictures of flowers, and we all get a little fresh air.  And then.  AND THEN.  The workout for Brian and me begins!  Carrying them the rest of the way after they poop out.  And they are no little babies any longer! 
And yes.  That's how it ends.  Rowan being all lady-like and Fletcher wearing my scarf.  But we'll do it all over again.  Again and again.  We love walks!  No, really, we do.

  2. Next time prepare a little picnic at home and tell them, yummy food and cake for littles that make it back home! Worked like a charm with Kayleigh. They ALWAYS think they can make it. Silly little optimists. PS--loved your fire from yesterday...makes me REALLY miss your house in Porter!

  3. Cute! You're lucky to have a car-less place for them to stroll on their own, it's too urban here for any non-hand-holding walks. I love love the antennae pic, so funny!

  4. Lovely pics. My favourite is when they start out with a bike and then refuse to use it halfway along the route.

  5. Lol I love the one of Rowan with her finger up her nose! Brian's look says, "Yes, well this is to be expected." ;)

  7. You have captured the perfect time of the year here! Flowers in bloom, trees starting to change, hoodies, and noses ripe for the picking. :-)

  8. Also, I think it's so very cute that Fletcher is wearing his Mama and Papa's alma mater. What a sweet gesture, Fletch.
