Foul mood

I've been in a foul mood lately, and I don't blog when I'm in a foul mood. I'm not 100% sure why the mood, but I'm going to take a stab that it's a little bit of everything so here it goes:

• Emma is seriously exerting her independence lately (is that an excuse for being plain-old naughty?!)
  
• Joel has been gone since Sunday afternoon and we won't see him again until Friday night
• Emma and I are both dealing with some congestion
• A bit more stress from work than usual
• And last but not least, the WINTER blues!

So, to try and remedy my mood we bundled up and braved the sunny, but still cold, weather at the park! It's amazing what a little fresh-air and sun can do. I'm not quite so foul anymore :)

We live w/ a two year-old mountain goat

I'm not kidding...she climbs anything and everything

Surprise, I inserted this picture so all you cat haters would
HAVE TO see how cute, cuddly and beautiful my cats are!

more climbing...

Emma had a smile on her face the ENTIRE
cold, slushy time we were at the park

Hot or cold, this frog is a blast to ride...so I've been told
