The Word B

all i want to do is hold her. friday morning i was loath to leave the house and go to work for the whole day. although i was fortunate to have the first week after her birth off from work on paid leave, i was not ready to leave home. i came home from work on friday and as soon as i walked in the door scout was my priority. i held her for about an hour before i even started to consider what to cook for dinner. i am not sure whether or not i got my fill, but nonetheless, life goes on.
last night we had our first outing in the car. cherry was feeling a bit agitated after being cooped up at home for so long, so at about 7pm we bundled up our little girl, put her in the car in the new car seat, and drove down to the dee why headland overlooking the ocean. it was a full moon, and the major motivation for the drive. we three stood on the headland (in the strong wind) and watched the moon in the sky and it's glow on the water. we then went for a short walk around the neighborhood and then returned home for bed. the outing was short and sweet, but a start of many more adventures to come.
