Happy 2018!

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2018!

We have been making the most of the sunny weather, hoping the fresh air and sunshine will restore our health.

Good health will help us achieve all of our goals in the New Year and man, do we have goals!

We managed to hike three days in a row, one of which was at the base of the Alps.

Gorgeous and exactly what we needed. A great start to a New Year!

Moments like these might just make this Mom's heart melt.

Cool new discovery in the woods.

Deep discussions on the trail.

A bit of carving and hot chocolate drinking.

Thun under a very moody sky!

Lovely, lovely walks!

The Alps in the background are incredible!

Feeling remarkably grateful for all the many gifts that have been bestowed upon us and taking the time to realize how fortunate we are... for every little thing. From fresh water, clean beds, shelter, food, a safe environment, education, fulfilling work, our family, friends, togetherness, a sense of community, clean clothes, health and so much more.

Unable to believe that our little gal is 6! She has been a joy at each age and we welcome her 6th year with gusto.

Celebrating 15 years of marriage. Wow! I never dreamed our lives together would be this sweet. Thank you Robert for such a beautiful life!

Blessed that we focus on the little things in life that add up to be the big things.

Wrapping our arms around the last week of summer holidays.

Loving the quote, "The secret to having it all is knowing you already do."

Wishing everyone a great week!
