Looking Back

First of all - sorry for not posting much in the last few days...but I'll make up for it with a long post.

Last weekend we did a lot of (never ending) house cleaning, had Chip and Audrey over for dinner, did some light shopping, and best of all - got outside to enjoy our unseasonably warm weather. We enjoyed hiking in Little Cottonwood canyon on Saturday and Big Cottonwood canyon (pictured below) on Sunday, even though Hudson had to stay behind (no dogs allowed in the Cottonwood canyons).


Speaking of looking back: We just can't believe how fast Finn is growing! The other day I looked back at the photos from shortly after his birth - and just couldn't believe it. Every day he seems to change a little - grabbing EVERYTHING, sitting up, smiling nonstop, and folding laundry (below).


OK, one more thing: last weekend I snuck away to climb with my good friend Josh. It had been quite a while since we had been out and we really enjoyed every minute. Friday night we headed out of town and arrived on the outskirts of Canyonlands National Park. Saturday we met up with some friends and climbed an amazing free-standing sandstone tower called "Moses." It was a pretty hard, long route, but we climbed well and stood on the kitchen-sized summit by early afternoon. That night we moved on to Indian Creek (about an hour south of Moab) and pushed ourselves to exhaustion on the clean, perfect cracks.
