Cooper & Scarlett

Off trail, testing their footing.

Lisa and I had the kids over for a sleepover. They are so good. Copper and Scarlett have their own room with a bunkbed at our place. They feel at home. Lisa and I feel good about that.

They get up early in the morning. Lisa taped over the minute digits on the clock on the stove and told them they couldn’t get up until the hour digit said ‘6’, ‘7’, or ‘8’. They were up at 6.

We had breakfast up the creek. Pancakes and bacon.

The valley is busy.

Cooper and Scarlett are full of energy and they are constantly yaking. Sometimes I think they are purposely trying to drive old Grandpa crazy. Grandma, on the other hand, is unflappable and welcomes the spirited discourse.

They are celebrating their birthdays this month. They sure are getting big.

    I’d be on a bloody long walk if I stood by a milestone on my next birthday! 😉 Good that they’re outdoors kids – nothing worse than children just staring at a phone all day!

        fully agree with that. I was horrified when they started to give kids mobile phones to go to primary school – half of them here are taken by either their parents by car or go on the school bus. Can’t see much need for a phone for either of those!
