First Hike

Today is Mark's birthday...so I must start off by wishing him a happy birthday!
This afternoon, we took Aaron on his first hike.He did great in his little carrier, so happy in fact he fell alseep by the end of the hike. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, perfect for a little birthday hike. He is actually just barely fitting in this carrier. I think for future hikes we are going to have to get a bigger carrier for a growing boy. In other news...Matt and Lori are doing great. We stopped by to see them at the hospital in Cookeville on our way home from Melber yesterday. Eli is so perfect and handsome. Today they were able to take him in their room and enjoy being a family. We are so happy for them and can't wait to see Eli again.

That's my philosophy...start 'em early! Get them outside to enjoy what God made...and they will be more grateful for it (and Him.)

Mark will be racing with him along the trail in no time. Good to see you out and enjoying the outdoors so early!
