walks and goodbyes

Pat left early this morning...and I'm not exaggerating when I say it goes by way too fast. I didn't even snap one picture of him and Liv. He is supposed to come back next week so maybe i'll be more on my game. I took Liv for a walk today to make the time pass. We go along the ridge which is right by our house. If we go with Carolyn, we bring Lily and Easton (Ryan's dog), but I can't handle them all by myself...so today it was just Liv, Lily, and I. Its something nice to do before Liv goes down for a nap. I bring her stroller, but I generally let her walk all the way there and then most of the way back. There are benches and walk-outs throughout the ridge, and we stop at the same one every time.

Side note. So, Liv has been sleeping terribly. She's been getting up once, sometimes twice, a night. It was really frustrating me. I had taken her bumper off when I changed her sheets and thought she didn't really need it any longer. I put it on last night because I was getting sick of her sucky falling out of her crib....and she slept through the night. Until 8:30 this morning. Thatta girl. It really made my day. Especially since Pat left this morning.
