A Weekend Walk

While we were visiting

my parents, we took some time to enjoy a local

trail. Jon and I have always enjoyed hiking.

Doesn't Doodles look like she's in pain?

I tell her that her parents forcing her to hike

will give her something to

tell her therapist when she grows up.

Big K loves to smile for the

camera.

I remember a time when the kids didn't know

what cameras were. They would just

stare while I was snapping pictures.

This was when we first met them, so I was taking

pictures like crazy. Who am I kidding,

I still take pictures like crazy. Anyway,

finally we showed them some of the photos we'd taken.

They were so amazed to see themselves. They would say,

"That's us." After that, they were always hamming

it up for the camera.

Sweet Doodles. I can't believe

she's almost nine!
And of course my favorite daughter. Doodles would
be yelling, "NO MOMMY!! I'm your favorite daughter!"
