When its cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. . .

I am finally sitting down to recap a semi-busy weekend consisting of such things as running errands, babysitting, cleaning, grocery shopping, going crazy in traffic, exploring, fellowshipping, eating, bundling up, etc. etc.
I can't remember the last time I pulled on a pair of sweats and big hoodie to just stay homebound, instead of gymbound. Isn't that weird? Its usually been too warm to get snuggly like this - but its so cold that even my feet are snuggled in slippers. :)

Yesterday, after a morning of coffee with my dear friend, and stocking our fridge and pantry again, H and I set off for a park that we had been interested in checking out for a while. It was somewhat nippy, but I was only too happy to arm up in one of many coats that stuff our overstuffed closet.

So off we went, feeling a little jipped that we had to pay $12 to get in, but did I mention to you that this was a river park? (water being a commodity here, I can see why they might see it as a reason to charge you an arm and a leg and your firstborn child to see it).

I had a lot of fun with the camera this time -
