In the sun with Valerie

Today is a beautiful sunny day and though I don't have the energy to get away from the house with Valerie, a little time in the backyard seemed more than appropriate!So we trekked about in the "great outdoors" with Valerie trying to take her wobbly, much-to-large steps while holding onto my hands. When she found the perfect spot, she just sat down and began to play... with sticks, leaves, dirt, and even my flowers.Take time to smell the flowers... just don't pick them, especially when they haven't even bloomed yet!
Funny how simple things like being outside in the sun for 20 minutes can make me feel so good!
