i've been confined to the house since friday morning battling strep. when i asked the doctor how long i should stay away from people (including my kids!), he said three days.
three days?!? i don't have
one day let alone
three! but paul and my mom managed to keep me in the bed, away from the girls, and bringing me andrew when he needed to nurse.
so by sunday, three antibiotic doses in, i was ready to
break out! paul took the girls to church and then a birthday party; and by the time they got home, i was dressed and ready to go. i sent him to starbucks for a little down time; and i grabbed my
real camera and loaded up andrew in the stroller after he had
just woken up...

and the kids and i headed out for a walk/bike ride to the park.

it was a comedy of stopping and starting and falling and racing and attempting to cross streets all together and get up hills and walk bikes down hills without speeding to the bottom where no one can stop...
but we made it to the park to run

and play

pose and smile (none of which i requested and all of which she instigated and i just don't know when she got so big?!?)

and just sit

and snuggle
and relax in the beautiful day!

while i've been doing a picture a day, today was a day that i couldn't just pick one or even narrow it down to two to pick from...so i did an entire post. i'll pick just one when i'm more decisive...if that ever happens :)
