Lily is walking . . .

Sort of! We are counting yesterday as her first day of walking, since she did it a number of times and was taking more than just a couple of steps. Today she is more reluctant to try it, but that’s okay. Maybe she tired herself out yesterday.

Richmond is bracing itself for a huge “snow storm” (which down here means 3 inches). Inevitably, forecasts of snow drive people to the grocery stores, buying milk and bread in huge quantities. It’s pretty funny. We actually did go to the store today, and did buy some milk - but only because we were running out of Lily’s whole milk. We had an excuse. I was almost embarassed to be seen buying milk on the dawn of the blizzard of 2004.

We spent yesterday painting at my parent’s house - we textured painted their half bath. It looks good - better than ours, really, since we sort of knew what we were doing this time. Lily had fun destroying their house and playing with everything she could get her hands on.
