My folks have been here for about a week now and I have to admit, I'm loving the extra arms. I've been lucky that I have parents (and in-laws) who seem not to mind when I throw my children at them and run away.
This last week has been no exception. I've needed the outside alone time more than I realized. Who knew how lonely you could get when lost in the cacophony of 4 little people?
These runs with the dogs and my own traipsing through the trails with my friend have done me the world of good. I feel more like myself again, albeit myself with creaky bones and no endurance, but me all the same.
I look at all those beautiful trees, shaking off their summer clothes, with the only sounds being our breath as it rustles the leaves. I think about everything and nothing.
I'm reminded again how freaking lucky I am.

Looks like two of the three dogs were glad to get out as well. Did the escape artist give you hell for leaving her behind?
Amen!
The escape artist was happily on tour with her BaPa.
Good news on the team of three front: Weekends Musher Boy is helping me get all three out and back in one piece. He's hanging on to Anouk, keeping her from turning on Abaka. It's working and I'm hopeful...if only I could that kid!
Aw, Dad took Abaka on his two miler. That's so nice. He does like a nice dog walk every now and then. My escape artist is at it again. Hanging out on the driveway, but flipping me the tail if I ask her to come in.
dig, if only you could WHAT that kid?
Thank you, Dave! I was trying to figure out how to word that one!!! xoxoxoxoxo
ADOPT. ADOPT that kid. LOL
