Every child begins the world again.
Henry David Thoreau
Last Tuesday, March 16th at 5:16pm, my newest nephew Noah Benjamin Desatoff was born! My twinner Robin did so good - he is beautiful! He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and measured 18.5 inches long. What a little peanut!
How fitting for this beautiful baby to join our family during the first week of spring! I absolutely LOVE spring time. The desert surprises me every year with the bursts of wildflowers and green mountains. We are taking full advantage of the perfect weather. We have designated Sunday mornings as family hike day. Last Sunday, we were still recuperating from our Flat Iron hike, but this week we couldn't wait to get out there again. We went to Gold Canyon to Silly Mountain.
It's called Silly Mountain, because it's rather silly to be categorized as a mountain! It's only 1/2 mile to the top with a 400 foot elevation gain. A stroll in the park compared to this beast from last weekend...
Just in case, you forgot, we were on top of that mountain a week ago. My quads just forgot and my calves have just about forgiven me.
Our little hiker had fun on this hike. It turned into more of a nature walk, because she was happier motoring around this path than cimbing the mountain.
Maddie takes her self-appointed job of collecting rocks very seriously.
One of her new words this week is flower. She had lots of fun finding flowers on our walk.

Her favorite part of the hike was the dirt pot filled with rocks that we found along the trail. What a treasure!

Silly mountain looks much better. Maddie is just adorable looking at the beautiful spring flowers. Looks like your all having a great time. Love your comment on Noah. Puts everything in place. Love you, your Grandmoo
