Another random posting...
LB and I have settled in nicely and have a good rhythm for our daily routine. NMTB has grown a ton, is eating a great diversity of foods and runs a round like the wind, chasing the dogs and getting into all sorts of trouble. We've recently found ourselves "lost" on the weekends... we recall all the good times we would have Sunday mornings at church, setting aside that day for being outside, taking the dogs to the park, picking berries while they covered the scents left by other dogs. Hopefully in a few months, NMTB will be able to walk well enough that we won't have to take him in the stroller and then can let the dogs go crazy on our walks in the canyons. Of course, by then, it'll be a million degrees here ... not the most pleasant weather to go hiking. But, maybe that'll open up an avenue to exploring other places :)
