I really am completely out of the habit of writing here. This is a bad thing if someone's life was depending on it or if I had some life-changing information to provide. But alas....the main reason I have for keeping up this blog at all is to record those everyday happenings in my little area of the world. I like to look back at pictures of my kids and remember sweet and crazy times. I realize that I have become a little more private with my thoughts and feelings and posting them here for the world to see makes me feel a little "exposed". We'll see, its probably just a phase I'll get over soon!
So now its catch-up time.
Hiking has definitely become a passion for our little family and we try to find time to go whenever we can. Our latest hike took us to a nature preserve pretty close to our home. We weren't sure whether or not to go because Jonah had hurt his foot and literally could not walk. We were desperate for the woods and nature so we took the all-terrain stroller and decided that we would stick to the paved trails. After walking the one paved trail in a matter of minutes we decided to attempt the regular trails. All was well until we had to head back up the mountain and ran into many built-in steps that the stroller could not navigate. I put Jonah on my shoulders and David carried the stroller on his back. I'm sure it would have been a great picture of us but I was a little preoccupied with an extra 35 lbs on my shoulders so you'll have to use your imagination!
We also enjoyed a nice hike a couple of weekends ago in "our own backyard". A green space that backs up to our neighborhood:
Well, that's it for now....school, laundry, dishes are all calling!
