Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Hiking Time

 We were blessed with a quiet morning at home with nothing planned, so we decided to drive up the hill to get in the snow and have a fun morning hike together, even Liberty got in the action. 

We got in a five mile nice walk and got to watch the valley warm up as the sun broke through the early morning fog.

The first half I enjoyed a delightful prayer time over the Russian adoption situation, each of our family members, and our upcoming year.  One of the blessings of not hiking up hill very well, was everyone was way ahead of me so I got lots of quiet time!
Hannah had a hard time recognizing the sign we painted this summer on our I heart Medford project.

The second half of the hike we were all together trying to figure out what had been running through the snow before us--rabbits, squirrels, deer, raccoons, and many other unknowns.

Then Caleb and Liberty ran the last two miles back to the car.  I think all of David's reminiscing of the time spent training up there with Danielle and Drew for the Footlocker Regional Races might have been inspiring.  Actually he is trying to get himself into a habit of running 3-4 days a week, which is kind of hard right now with Dad nursing an injury.

Thankful for the moments to make memories, I know this all passes so quickly.

Oh, and we heard that Harrison rolled over for the first time today! 

Life is an amazing journey.
