What do you do when...

...your 1 year-old runs to the front door, gesturing and yelling, "Walk!"?

You bundle up and go for a walk, of course. Even when you're just washing up the breakfast dishes and still wearing your PJs.

...or when the sun comes out in January?

You bundle up (in stripes, if you are a toddler) and head to your favorite park. Who cares if you are the only crazy parents out there? Gemma wanted to work on her climbing skills, and boy is she getting good. In fact we have had sun and temps in the 50s for several days in a row, so we have seen quite a few other crazy parents and kids at the park of late. And since this is Bloomington, we regularly hear families speaking other languages - on Monday it was German, French, Arabic and Korean.

Back to the car and a replenishing snack of clementines during the ride home. By the way, Kate, recognize those little Nikes that Lillian wore at this age?
