Walking Home From School

The trip over the walkway is more fun with more people.

Having recently read "Quitter," a best-selling book with some nice career advice, I set out to make some lifestyle changes. One of them was to try to spend more time with the girls each day. And one of the easy ways to do it was to walk with the girls each afternoon – including the walk home from school with Veronica.

While Julia and Olivia have yet to join in on the afternoon walk up to pick up Veronica, Lauren joined in today. The result was a nice opportunity to catch up with her – and to capture one of her priceless expressions (seen at right).

The walk from my apartment to their house takes about 12-15 minutes and it is another 10 minutes or so to the school. The walk home is another 10 minutes, then another 10 from there. So it adds up to about 35 to 45 minutes of exercise and catch-up time with the girls.
