Holiday Weekend


We may not be taking Monday off, but
Josh was around this weekend and we had some great times.
Saturday on a whim we headed up to Salida to go to the pool. Unfortunately is was closed,
but we had a great time in the grass at the park just the same.



She loves the grass

Sunday Morning we decided to go for a hike. It was beautiful up Cottonwood Creek trail.
Piper loved it! While she doesn't last too terribly long, we had a grand time and plan on doing it again soon.





We found a a place to stop midway to play around a little.


There was water and a little sandbar and Piper spent quite some time soaking it all up.
Water Baby indeed.


I love this...


Back at home we tried on a hat from Aunt Amy, fall is in the air for sure.


And then some Momma and Piper time.


She looks so calm here...so serene...but don't be fooled.


Piper is doing what her Aunt Charlie did as a baby,
Loving me very very hard. She squeezes me, "kisses" me and when she can- tries to use my chin as a teether. Its very sweet, I know she doesn't mean any harm in it at all. Her little body tenses up when she hugs me, hugging so so hard- like she can barely contain herself.
But I'm trying to calmly show her to be "gentle" when she loves on me.
