Last week was NO TV week; we survived. (Of course, I hailed Tivo once the kidlets were in bed!) We took the time to exercise the dog and get some family time outside. These are taken from the trail behind our house. We are very lucky to be able to pop out the back gate and OFF we go. And do I mean, OFF. Fritz LOVES the trail (lots of things to sniff, running up&down the ditch, loads of strangers to adore him). Sean is our resident Survivorman, constantly gathering firewood and pleading with us to let him sleep out there "with no tent or nothing".

I'm just hoping that walking in the evenings has the added bonus of taking some pounds off my butt. For the record, I actually jogged for a decent stretch last week.
