Naturally walking characters? (Assignment # 4)

[JRYoung]

I'm still quite new to alice. I've been trying to figure out at natural walking pattern for characters where while they are moving nothing moves away from their body. The characters that i created for an assignment that i have for a programming class (especially the father), whenever he walks his legs move away and either above or below his body. I thought i could combat that by everytime he takes a "step" moving his leg back up, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions for editing my natural walking pattern?

I have attached the assignment to the thread.
