It's President's Day and Baby Girl and I have the day off. Daddy, does not. Boo. With the guys still working on our kitchen we needed to vacate the premises unless we wanted to spend the day listening to loud noises. So Baby Girl and I drove to the Natural History Museum. This was actually our second visit. We had meet our friends, The Augusts back when Baby girl was 3 months old. However, I don't think she remembers that visit. :) This time around at 14 months Baby Girl walked the museum. She had a great time running and walking. Not only that, she had fun touching and feeling exhibits. The museum has a discovery center where kids can feel dinosaur bones, touch fur and different animals. Its very interactive and something that a curious little mind would love. Plus, Baby Girl likes being around other children and so she had fun going up to other kids and checking them out. For a holiday, it wasn't terribly busy so it was a great atmosphere to let Baby Girl roam and not be nervous about the crowds. I thought she would be scared of the big dinosaurs but she was the opposite. She kept looking up at them. I wonder if she thought they were just a larger version of Moses? Hum.

But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
