mountain footage

on a misty morning



my wonderful grandmother has a beautiful little house in the mountains. she does not live there most of the year now, but was so gracious to allow our little family to occupy it for nearly a week. it was truly a treat to be able to afford a little time away to rest, enjoy each other, celebrate our anniversary, disconnect from chaotic life. it was truly a wonderful week even though poor graham was fighting a cold and didn't sleep so well for the first few days. we were so thankful to be visited by a dear friend (our friendship is 23 years old!), who now lives near my grandma, and her enchanting dog that the kids LOVED and i wanted to bring home. it was a lovely trip...we took much fewer photos than we should have...we were too busy relaxing!





we did a lot of walking up and down the mountain road


this is the view from the porch and dining room




i know marit is small, but do not be mistaken...this dog is BIG


graham loved this dog's soft fur...i have never seen a gentler dog with children

Re the next to last picture:

What's that about a big head?
