I wasn’t sure how it would be
to be up in the mountains
on Father’s Day.
It ended up being refreshing.
Nolan kept up with us
and hiked on his own
with very little complaint.
Three miles. That’s a long way for little legs.
We all had fun.

It may become a tradition.

Sounds like it should definitely become a tradition!
Sometimes things hit out of nowhere and we don’t know how we can handle it. The Lord’s known from all eternity every thing that’s going to happen and has been preparing a way.
Know that I’m here praying!
Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

That’s such a sweet way to honor Mark. To feel closer to him, and closer to God at the same time. I’m so glad Nolan had a good time, too.
Still praying for you…. ((hugs!))

What a great way to celebrate Nolan’s Daddy!
I love forming traditions for my kids, too!

That would be a great tradition to continue! It’ll be great to look back and reflect each time.

I don’t know you, but I feel so proud of you! I’ve been reading your blog since the beginning, and to see you pushing through the pain and leaning on our Savior, I just feel blessed by you! Your son will grow to be a man his dad will be proud of, you are doing a great job!

A tradition worth keeping.
