I’m getting a jump on my new year’s resolution by aiming to spend more time together with the fam but less time “doing & going” – it won’t last long – between gymnastics and dance competitions coming up – but you can’t blame a girl for trying. So today, it was decent enough outside for the day after Christmas, JJ was off work, Beth was still in town, so we headed out to the Eno for a hike, Annie in tow. The kids still griped – each one wanted to lead and would race to get to the front and then feign fatigue when they weren’t the leader – but we made it and it might be the first time we didn’t have to carry a kid for most of the way so that’s quite a feat – maybe significant enough that we’ll take another hike sometime soon.
