Walking to school

Where we used to live, the traffic was so bad that we drove our kids to school every day. One of the benefits of moving here, is that Michael and Natalie can walk to school on their own. Nice exercise and a great learning experience. They are lucky to have friends to walk along with and so far it has been a nice experience for them. Michael went cross country skiing at school yesterday and went skiing home from school. Fun! It is a new situation for mom, though, and I have been on the look-out to see when they arrive, waiting and waiting, the first day I even went out to meet them, I thought it took sooooooo long for them to come home.
