New Year's Day Hike


We rang in the New Year with a hike through the canyon near our home.  It was just what we all needed-- sunshine and exercise.  I love these boys of mine.  


Here's a story that I hope to remember and an image I plan to call upon when the boys are fighting.  Towards the end of the hike Isaac stopped dead in his tracks and started to crying, thinking we were leaving him behind.  This was, of course, not true but before either Nat or I could reassure him Luke was running back to get him and bring him back to the group.  It was his immediate reaction and it melted our hearts to watch his big brother instincts kick in.
