Oh, who are the people in your neighbourhood?

We took Sarah for a walk in her stroller tonight as we normally do on rain-free evenings. However, we did not bump into the other moms and dads on our usual route. Oh but of course - how silly of us. We must be the only crazies out there who would think to bring a baby out on a chilly evening. At least we had the sanity to bundle her up real good in her teddy bear jacket - thank you Auntie Theresa & Uncle Richard! I guess we will have to move our stroll in the mountains to the afternoon from now on :)

Speaking of mountains, we often encounter wildlife in our area, including a baby black bear that once walked right past our front door (Momma bear, fortunately, was nowhere to be seen). Anyway, tonight while we were on our way back home, we came face-to-face with a deer! How exciting. Given where we live, this isn't a rare occasion, but it was certainly the first time that we ever came so close to one :) He was standing so still that we first thought he was just a garden ornament until he started working on the plants :P
