Recently Papa got pictures developed that he has taken over a long time. I saw pictures of us from when I was much smaller…just 4 months old. Now that I am almost 9 months old, I figure I must be getting old because when I look back on things I did in the past, it seems like a really long time ago. I mean, wow, who can remember that far back!?

Papa says that is when I first started to reach for things…and what I was reaching for was the spring leaves just emerging from the trees in the Rich Mountain wilderness area in North Georgia.

On that trip we also played in the stream – and that was great!!! I got into the water, played with Mama in the water, and took some good naps there.
