Is It Spring?

Wow!! Today was so beautiful; it was almost 60 degrees here!!! In January!! We just had to get out and enjoy God's awesome creation. We went hiking and geocaching along this trail that led us by the Meramec River; it also took us up some pretty steep hills to some little cliffs overlooking the area. It was so exhilarating; we could tell Corrina was just loving being outside. Also, it was a fantastic workout carrying her and the stroller up these really steep hills. Look out, Mimi! We've already started our grueling weight loss program...hehe.

This was my view along the trail...I enjoyed it!!! Hehe!
I just LOVE Corrina's face in this pic...she's giggling. If you need a good laugh, zoom in on her face

In this pic, a dog had just passed us on the trail, and Corrina loves dogs. She likes to pant like one. Then in the pic below, I guess she thought she'd see a monkey or an owl.

This is an aerial view of Corrina trying to walk on ice. It was pretty cute...

Playing with the rock on the ice.

God has given us the gift of children for many reasons, but one is so we may see his Creation again, a refreshing reminder of His hidden secrets under a rock or the thrill of walking across slippery ice. I'm so thankful for His gift to see anew His Creation.

Christmas in January

I know, I know...Christmas was a while ago, but I'm just now getting pics up. We had a wonderful Christmas. It was sooo much fun this year because Corrina actually was able to open presents and react to them. She was adorable; everything she opened made her say, "OOOOO..." (just like her bday presents.) Anyway, here are a few pics....
