Last Tuesday was so perfect that I called Paul at lunch and told him that he had to ditch work and meet Ellie and me at the zoo. He did and we all had a wonderful time. Ellie roared at the big cats and was mesmerized by the giraffes, who were eating their dinner only a few feet away from where we were standing. I loved the sea lions but was disappointed not to see Air Jaws jumping out of their little pond.
Friday was cool and windy but sunny, so my mom, Ellie, and I went to the park. This was also a lot of fun, even though Ellie decided to do a slow-mo header off the end of a slide and got her first ever big girl nose scrape. She only cried for a moment and it's already healed. So precious. Saturday we enjoyed our first Gymwalkers class and Ellie fits in with this class much better than she does with the crawlers class, even though she's not walking independently yet.
Sunday was another gorgeous day and we went down to The City Museum. This is one weird place. We had a lot of fun. Ellie especially enjoyed the slides and the petting aquarium. Yes, that's right. I had an altercation with a rocky protuberance, but other than the comely lump on my forehead I'm none the worse for wear.
I'm inordinately excited by our upcoming visit to The Big Easy. Over the next few months we're going to New Orleans, Dodge City (Kansas), Wyoming, NW Indiana/Chicagoland, and Boston. Busy, traveling us! Perhaps eventually I'll actually write something here again. Like, on a rainy day or something.

What's with all the travel? You *will* be busy!
That's the most positive thing I've ever heard about February!
ahem, you're supposed to whine and complain about catching colds and bad weather, like me.
Hah! Well, you are a couple hundred miles north of here. That makes a big difference this time of year . . .
