This morning Lynn was getting ready to go work out and I was getting to go to my all girl gym when I said why don't we just go for a walk instead? The weather is amazing (sorry all you people that live in the yuck) and Lynn is getting this nasty cough-cold-sore throat thing so I knew he shouldn't push himself so off we went. At this point Trixie figured out we were going somewhere together- she started doing her circles, always counterclockwise of course- and we decided to take her along. Now girls, before you start saying what about Emmie, we knew she wouldn't be able to make it down the street, so daddy smuggled Trixie out of the house while I gave Emmie a dog cookie. She was happy laying in the backyard crunching away. It was such a nice morning in the midst of the craziness of work right now- poor Lynn is trying to turn over two stores in the Fremont this week and it's been phone calls till midnight the past several days. We love our neighborhood with it's walking trails and scented dog poo bags- who ever thought of that?! Of course no walk would be complete without me stepping off the path wrong and falling all the way to the ground- Lynn helped me up and his only comment was "You and Mandy, brother". I was so sad though cause I took my camera to take pictures and my battery was dead! So sorry, these are old pics of the dogs. After we got home he even took the time to sit in the backyard with me so we could enjoy a bowl of Special K with strawberries- it is seriously the best cereal- and the dogs got to have the cereal milk. All in all a wonderful, great, awesome Thursday morning. So Lynn's off to the office, I'm doing a couple of things here at home then I'm heading to the office, but it was fun for a bit to pretend the world wasn't beating down our door. Isn't it funny that a little thing like a walk and a shared bowl of cereal could make a day so great!!

I don't think anyone can fall down in our family, with out refering to me. I just want to point out that it has been a VERY long time since I feel down. And (knock on wood) I have NEVER fallen down pregnant! (MOM) Oh and your morning sounded very nice! I would love to be able to do that with Jon. I guess we have the whole raising kids and starting to work (YEAH!) thing to do first though.
WOAH WOAH WOAH...apparently we can add bad memory to less than balanced to Mandy's list...she fell walking into my garage over Christmas break! I actually laughed out loud when i read the part about mom falling...i could totally see dad saying that! But to be perfectly honest i'm not known for being the most graceful...but it has been a week since i've fallen down the stairs at school!
I totally forgot about slipping...but to my defense that wasn't being klutzy. That was dangerously slippery and ANYBODY would have fallen!
lets not forget mom falling when she came to help me move in... i think she is still having problems with her knee and she hasnt seen a doctor yet!
It was a great morning until you turfed it!
I have really loved reading the updates on your family! I can't wait to hear more and to keep in touch with our blogging!
