I was in Chicago this weekend (my first time away from Norah). Scott and the Bean jumped at the chance for daddy/daughter adventure which, of course, means hiking. Norah rode in the backpack for the ascent but she chose to walk back down the trail which tripled their time. Scott says she stopped to hug trees all the way. “Nice tree. Hug it. Kiss it. Love it.” Is anyone surprised?
My Chicago trip included much late night giggling with my sister, some daddy/daughter adventure of my own, and opportunities to annoy my new brother-in-law (and boot him out of his bed so Noelle and I could enjoy late night giggling). Only with my sister can I discuss theology, diva cups, and poetry in the same conversation.
Scott left us sleeping this morning to go boating. It must have rained while I was away…
Inexplicable Ways 
It looks like “Sally” and Scott had a great time. I can see her hugging all the trees. She is growing up so fast. Tell Scott that we need to plan a trip with the girls sometime. Ryleigh is walking so much now. love you guys!!!!!
Father-daughter quality time is so sweet, and that’s adorable with the tree! I have time to sew because my house is a mess 🙂 But I’ll catch up. I had a lot of extra time for it too after I sprained my ankle because I was just sitting around anyway.
