Dan's Mountain

Well today was our last day at the Cooke's house. Laura and I got a lot done, Lucy seems to be getting better, but the boys were starting to seem like six rather than three in the apartment. Don't get me wrong, they were SO very good while we were there, a little backtalk notwithstanding, but they are boys and boys are bouncy.
So Andrew was home today and did the sweetest thing. He took the boys out for a trip to Dan's Mountain and a hike up to the rock. While he was there he took some great pictures.
The boys had a blast and saw all kinds of neat things, while getting some much needed exercise.
Then they went to Walmart. Andrew had one of the best pictures developed into an 8x10 and he put it in a nice frame. It was so thoughtful! I am going to hang it on the wall on the stairs.
I love the country up there. It was good to be home, but coming down into the city, the traffic felt really confining after the mountains. We may have to get a couple of acres up there. It would be so nice to have a place to get away to.
I enjoyed Lucy so much this week. She is such a cuddly, funny little thing! The boys had so much fun with her.
She really knows her audience!
