see you next week!
we took a morning walk for a change of pace. i know we all get plenty of outdoor time, but there is something so mysterious and almost seceret about walking quietly through a still morning. frost on the grass. pink and yellow coming over the mountain. birds silent overhead. feeling both warm and cold. happy children.
back at home, after breakfast dishes were cleared away, we sat down at the kitchen table to carve. wyatt sketched out two designs and we each carved one.
