MIA

I feel like we’ve inadvertently neglected our blog. Lately our life has been filled with the following: fall semester, football season (and with that, the all consuming fantasy football leagues…Mckay is in two and it’s pretty much equal to a part time job). We’ve managed to squeeze in a few lovely hikes over the weekends. The first was up Dry Fork, where I did more complaining than I probably should have. but me and steep rocky hills don’t get along. In fact, we’re in a fight. and judging by the scrapes near my left knee cap I’d say the hill is winning. I’m going to be honest, I hated hiking that day. but it was good to get in some quality family time and enjoy a pretty view I suppose.

We also hiked around Squaw Peak, right around sunset. Romance. and it was the babe’s first successful ride in the backpack. so fun. we only had the film camera so no pictures of that. but definitely a hike we recommend, the views are incredible.

We also enjoyed a weekend with Chris and JJ, and the rest of the family, where we all had a good laugh over the epic fail of BYU (eventually it just got ridiculous). and our sweet babe turned 7 months on the 11th.

aaaaaaaand, as for me whenever I’m not cooking, cleaning, laundry-ing or …henry-ing, I’m working like crazy on this thing:

yes that would be the old quiet book. the one I started forever ago, even before henry was a blip on our radar. I’m in the middle of completing 6 new pages (probably some of my favorites so far) and once those are done I only have 8 left. I can finally see the light at the end of what’s been a very long tunnel. but I’m excited to get it done and move on with my life. Hopefully I can post an update on my progress in the next couple of days. or maybe I’ll wait till it’s all finished, but who knows when that will be.  I guess we’ll see.
