Our First Hike of 2012

Sweet Liam,

The weather is finally starting to warm up here in our little piece of Montana and we are so ready to take you out to enjoy this place we call home!  You have loved being outside from the moment we brought you home!  Even in the dead of winter we could stand at the window with you and you would just stare at the falling snow, trees, everything!  During the fall and early spring we bundled you up extra and would take you on short walks, you enjoy every minute!

Now that the temps have gotten up into the 70s and 80s your Dadda and I have been taking you on lots of walks and this last weekend we even pulled out the framed pack for you!  We drove up to a little path on the edge of town, it's nice and flat and only a two mile loop so a easy walk/hike.  We arrived, Dadda put you in the framed carrier (which means he wore you) with some sunscreen, a hat and a little toy (I carried water for us) and off we went!  At first you were so excited you just giggled and squealed, it was so sweet!  Each time a stranger went by you would reach out and squeal with joy, the strangers always laughed!  For a little while you wanted to hold my hand which was fine by me!  For awhile the path went along a stream and eventually the river, you loved looking at the water!  After about a mile you were exhausted and fell asleep!  It was so cute, your little head titled to the side, you even snored a little!

These are the moments that I live for!
I love you-
