Walking to school...

Typically Oliver takes the bus but as the days are still nice and I think he's got the whole bus thing down, we've been walking three or four days of the week to his school. It's lovely to spend the morning walking in the fresh air. The added bonus is the smiles and happy chatter I get to share with the boys. It's been the best part of my days.

Occasionally we're early, so we play on the school playground. Or bring our new toy airplane to shoot off across the wide open ball fields. 

One day Lucius and I found these workers chopping down a huge tree and cleaning it up with the crane truck. We just had to stop and watch for a while. 

But it's these beautiful skies, warm & cool morning breezes and nature we love to see!

(These are all photos from mid-October. Now that's it's getting colder out and we've had nasty colds it's been a week or two without morning walks, and I'm already starting to miss them. Hoping we'll be better soon so we can keep walking a day or two a week.)
