thankful

i'm thankful for the nicer weather we've had the last couple of days. jackson and i try to go for a walk most days, but with it being so cold we've been walking at the mall. although walking with folks from an older generation can be fun, it has been nice to get outside for our walk. there aren't sidewalks near our house, so i've been packing up jackson and the stroller and heading to downtown coeur d'alene. there are lots of things for jackson to look at, including a beautiful lake, geese, trees, the big condos his daddy's working on, etc and there are nice big sidewalks and paths for us to use. it just feels so good to get some fresh are and enjoy the outdoors.
