Hike

There are some days God reminds me how utterly blessed I am. This weekend, I has one of those days. We had a relaxing morning at home with a delicious breakfast of egg casserole, (I am determined to find a recipe I LOVE and stick with it) hot fresh banana bread, and fruit salad with homemade whipped cream. Thank Mom. Yes, that would be me:)

Then we did a little Christmas clean-up. After naps, we went to the park for a spontaneous hike. It was a beautiful 50 degree day, perfect for a little exercise, even for the pregnant mom. Shane led the way while the girls searched for the perfect walking stick, put their shoes on the right feet, again, and tried hard not to fall. One the way back Annalee took over the lead and we used the opportunity to teach her about being a servant leader. She was very diligent in making sure her troops were aware of what was expected of them, the order they needed to walk in, songs we needed to sing, encouraging the lagers, and reminding everyone that they could do it and that we were "almost there!" They had fun, and we had a memory to file away forever. I love the family God has given us. We really are so very blessed
