up the mountain

Being out in nature on such a sunny crisp day. Going up the mountain. That is my other practice. Going up the mountain is Sadie's practice as well. We have been hiking together up Case since she was 3 weeks old. Our daily weekday hike takes us about an hour and 1/2. During the first 12 weeks of Sadie's life, hiking was the only thing that soothed her. We have done as much bonding on our well worn path up the mountain as we have nursing in the wee hours of the night. For now, we will hike for as long as we can. Until the snow falls.

Today was exceptionally beautiful and we got a pleasant surprise....... We went with Daddy. He took this picture. Notice Sadie's sweater. I made it. Also, check out her 4 teeth.
