Time Flies

Several years ago I kind of fell into keeping a blog.  It seemed like a good way to record family history, and I'm a spontaneous type of girl, so off I went.  As life picked up steam it became harder and harder to devote time to it.  I eventually decided it wasn't a priority, so I stopped blogging.  But earlier this week a dear friend asked me about our family blog.  I looked it up to make sure I was giving her the right address, and now I'm regretting that I let a year and a half pass without recording anything.  Life is still as busy as ever, but I'm going to try to record some memories here!

On Memorial Day we took the kids for a hike.  They all did really great, despite the girls' fear of seeing a rattlesnake or getting into poison ivy (which were both legitimate concerns).  We attempted to go up to this cave at one point, and I was climbing while supporting Calico.  My enthusiasm outweighed my abilities and before I knew it she and I were sliding down the side of the hill, with nothing to stop our fall.  Hello road rash!  I was so grateful to Spunky, who is the planner in our family.  She had packed a full first-aid kit and it came in handy.  Calico skinned both elbows but was so excited to be out on a hike that it barely bothered her.  She is becoming quite the brave four-year-old.
