Happy Nu Nu!






We celebrated our first New Year's Day together as a family by keeping with a tradition Davis and I started a few years ago of going on a new hike each New Year's Day. We were joined by friends who have a little boy that is one of the girls' best little buddies. Eden greeted passersby on the trail with a big "Happy Nu Nu!", her two year old way of saying "Happy New Year". With three kids age three and under and one enthusiastic dog in tow, our little herd went quite a bit slower than last year when we traveled light as a mere twosome. It was another new day in our new life as parents - one that reminded us again in this new year that life is sweeter with little friends along for the journey. Perhaps this is because they force you to go slow enough to take in the view.
