Sunday Afternoon

We slipped out the basement door as Liam and his daddy settled into a nice afternoon nap, warmed by the cookstove.  

The air was crisp, cold even, but refreshing.  The sun was beginning it's decent, casting long tall shadows throughout the woods.  The warm glare was well received our our sun deprived faces.  Charlie and I, we hiked. 

This guy is seven today.  Seven.  The sweetest dog i ever did know and such a good guy to Liam.  His jealous eyes look for our love, our attention as we fret/love/talk to our baby.  As we snuggle Liam, he just snuggles in closer.  Some nights will find the four of us bundled together on one couch.  Just as it should be.

So on Sunday afternoon, we took a walk in the woods, just the two of us.  He was ecstatic.  He jumped and galloped.  We played and ran.  His eyes said "thanks mom."  Quality time always does the trick.  

In the woods, and with my pup.
