The lake is totally thawed, Cooper has been in it a few times already, and we are making the huge mistake of showing it to Mallory…pretty soon she won’t be content to just hang in the yard when she realizes she can go swimming every day.
This last picture – Rick had to grab Mallory because she was about to just start walking into the water.

We went for a walk in the woods tonight. I swear she weighs about 400 lbs. Plus she is always leaning one way or the other in the backpack so it works my core, that’s for sure.
While we were walking, I started singing “five little monkeys, jumping on the bed…one fell off and bumped his head! (Mallory knocked on my head) Mama called the doctor and the doctor said NO MORE MONKEYS jumping on the bed (Mallory wagged her finger NO NO NO)”.
The weather was somewhat warm yesterday and I overdressed for the hike; 10 minutes into it I said “It’s HOT!” and I could hear Mallory starting to blow – like how she does on her food when we say it’s too hot. Good thing I didn’t actually fall down laughing because we both would have gotten hurt. LOL.
I had some other stories to share but can’t remember them right now. Perhaps another day.
