last week

The family we take care of , house, the dogs and JT, is renovating their house and are staying in Durango. So walking at the ranch is out for the next four months. What is fun though is all the new hikes Lilja and I are doing. I lived in Durango for 10 years, so it is my old stomping grounds, plus I used to run all these trails each day. So fun to walk them with Lilja now, and she is loving it..

Bruket trail, this is the trail on the ther side of the big mountain we hiked last week. This time, Lilja found a walking stick that made her walk, far, far away!!

and run...

and run some more

momma, it's pretty steep here..

soooo cute!!

even cuter!!

Aran was gone for 4 days visiting his grandmother, who is not very well at all. Lilja and I had a full weekend, but she definitely missed her daddy!!

Her daddy!! she would not leave him alone, and he was sooo tired!

Lilja's first swimming lesson. I asked Maddie to join us, because I thought Lilja would love some support. The teacher said, she loved the pairing with Maddie's no fear attitude and Lilja's timidness.. she complemented eachother!

Ring around the rosie!!

beg alligators in the shallow end of the pool 

and kicking her legs behind her in the deep end

trying to put their whole face in the water.. that is their homework for the week.

While I was painting walls inside, Lilja was watering the plants and the dogs outside..  

she always has to bring some loveys !
