YES, she really did climb this herself- she climbs everything
you never can tell what that little girl is thinking- she spends much time in quiet thought.......


This is my life. My three little mountains bring me more joy than I could ever put to words. They challenge me, teach me and make me realize what life is all about. Raising them is literally like climbing a mountain. It is such a struggle to get to the top, but it is a wonderful place to struggle, and the views while climbing are breathtaking- and so very worth the work. A place to get nearer God's creations, and sit back and be amazed........

Ditto! They are lucky to have you as a mom. It's so cute how they each have developed their own personalities.
