Day 140

We couldn't pass up a beautiful Saturday without going on a long walk in the woods.  Willy and Austin were busy staining a fence, Emily went to a camp meeting, and Jessy had something else going on, so Lydia, Bill and I went for a hike down at Bull Run regional park.  We hiked for about 2 hours.  Lydia was so enjoyable to be with.  We stopped and sat on a bench and talked for a while.  We listened to the birds and talked about trees and water and her upcoming doctor's appointment.  Lydia was all about enjoying the moment.  I wish I could have the carefree easy going attitude of a seven year old.  No worries about tomorrow only thoughts of today and the moment she was in.  I love watching Bill ans Lydia together there is nothing like seeing a father and a daughter chat and play and hold hands.  It's the look in their eyes that says I love you no matter what and the look of protection as they goof around and look back at each other.  The look says more then words could say between them.
