The Friesen Strollers....

Since early 2009, MANY of you locals have seen Luke and me up and down our little town....I have NO idea how many miles I have put on the "blue stroller" (as we call it in our home). Looking through some old pics, I came across some baby pics of Luke in that stroller.... ALL of these walks is something I have thoroughly enjoyed in my life. People often ask me now how Luke, a 4 year-old, does on these walks. Luke does fabulous. Then, I get asked if he's always asking to get out and walk. Nope -- I always respond that he's used to it...I like to think he's been trained to sit in the stroller nicely so Mama can get her walk in :) Then, Kate came along. The "blue stroller" simply wouldn't work anymore with 2 kids. So, before Kate was even born actually, Marc and I talked about a double jogging stroller. Marc, with his awesome research skills, decided THIS STROLLER would be a good one for our family. Then, we started saving for it in a cash envelope (you know, the good ol' fashioned way). Back in February, we bought it! Luke was VERY excited before we even took it out for the first time.... Despite cold days, we've bundled up and been out quite a bit in the last 6-7 weeks....EXCEPT when there was over a foot of snow on the ground :( These awesome kiddos of our's often fall asleep on our walks.... AND, a couple of times now, Kate & I have walked to pick up Luke from preschool -- resulting in stops at a park or two on the way home.... I would LOVE to know how many miles Luke and I logged on that "blue stroller." SO, this time, with the double stroller, the NERD in me is keeping track of the miles. So far, in less than two months, AND with an interruption of a major snow storm, the NERD in me is happy to report that we're at 96 miles :) Wave "Hello" to us if you see us walking (I'm talking to you locals, obviously)....
