my great day :)

Last night while calling to tell me that he would be home late, Bill surprised me by telling me that he was taking today off from work! Since it was the girls first day back to school in a week (no school Monday for MLK Day, home sick on Wednesday), i had lots of errands to run... However, we made time for some fun too!!

After dropping the girls off at school, we headed to the glacier for Kodiak's morning walk. It was a beautiful, clear morning, and we enjoyed a nice walk to the falls. Ever since i started hiking last spring, i've wanted Bill to join me for a walk. Although the glacier isn't new to him, the path we took was, and i'm glad we finally got to walk it together:

Next, Bill joined me in grocery shopping at Walmart and Fred Meyer. We picked the girls up from school, and went home for lunch. Bill had to run into work while the girls were napping, but while they were asleep, i got a little bit done on a project i'm working on. After their nap, Bill took Kodiak and the girls to Cope Park. I unloaded the dishwasher without being harassed by the dog (!), ran to the store for the one ingredient that i forgot this morning, and picked up my family at the park on my way home:

We enjoyed a great dinner by the fire (chili and chili-cheese muffins for Bill and i, waffles for the girls), and then went for a drive to see the stars.

It's not yet 8:30 pm... The girls and the dog are asleep... I have my computer, my project, and my best friend... A great end to a great day!
