It is winter, and we are tucked under our layers of blankets, peeking out from time to time, waiting for the sunlight to break-through the clouds or for motivation to spring us from our padded depths. While we look for motivation in life, sometimes it is the small errand that gets us out the door. Things like haircuts, a visit to the zoo, and a eating at the restaurant are all small things that let us get some fresh air, move our bones, and do something different during our winter days.

| Violet and I visited Uncle Stuart in Chicago and we walked around Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a perfect warm winter day for such a tour, and we virtually had the zoo to ourselves. In this picture, Violet is pointing out fish to Uncle Stuart. |
 |
| No visit to the zoo is complete without a photo-opp on the Pygmy Hippos! |

| I took the girls to Chipotle one evening and we ate there. Audrey really wanted to eat in the restaurant rather than take the food home. She enjoyed watching all the other people eat. Violet loved running to and from the trash bins throwing each napkin away individually. |
