Walking and Friends

A friend from my hometown came to visit today.  Well, truth be told, she was in my younger brothers' class and we weren't really friends, but more like acquaintances.  But today, I think we were more like friends.  (FYI to those that know her... it is Tara.)  She and her husband live here in Columbus and are expecting their first in April (on my birthday, actually).  So, she came over to check out my cloth diapers and to talk and hang out.  It was great.  We took Madison for a walk on the bike trail for about an hour.  We are both a little slower than we were in our prime, but it was a nice (almost warm) day and oh so enjoyable.  We talked about the hard times of the first few weeks of baby and the last few weeks of pregnancy.  I told her to call if she needs anything in the first few weeks/months.  Like us, both her family and her in-laws are about 2 hours away.  So, even though Madison will still be little, I would like to help her out however I can.  Well, my mom commented that she needed a picture fix, so here is a pic.  Walking must be absolutely exhausting for Madison :)  I have made the mistake before of attempting to move her from car seat to crib when she has fallen asleep; she usually does not keep sleeping.  So, today, she will be getting a quality nap in the living room in her car seat.
