What's that? A bear. WHERE!?

We went to the Smoky Mountains in October. (yes, I know I am behind!) While hiking a trail to a waterfall, every hiker or the at least one from every group passing us, coming back from the waterfall kept wispering their exciting news..."There is a bear up ahead!" This bear was 20 or so feet from the trail. And people were standing about 10 feet away from him!

You can see him behind Josh & Isaiah. He was much, much closer...but I didn't want them to get too close for the picture. So we waited til he went further down the mountain before we took this.

Alive...

I am still here. Life is always busy. Isaiah is always on the move...and it is hard to take the precious time I have when Isaiah is asleep or Daddy is home to blog. I know there are several of you who miss seeing little man grow up. I try to make it here...I really do. But - I will try to get something in at least once a week. Nothing like before...but at least you can catch a glimpse into our lives again. God bless you all! Most of these are old...like first of October old. But we will get caught up...
