So right now I'm looking at my dumb dog who, on our first night up here in the mountains, decides to fall down an entire flight of steep, wooden stairs. Yes, at 3 AM, as I'm trying to console a screaming baby, Rook heads down the steps in the pitch black, and I'll never forget the sound of an 85-pound idiot falling head over heels. So now he's sore all over and yelps every time he gets up, but I'm surprised he didn't break anything. He's like Chevy Chase, always doing the dumbest stuff, yet still surviving to do it all over tomorrow.
Anyway, Bobby and I are trying to relax. It's a rainy day today, the baby's sleeping, and Bobby and his dad are playing yet another riveting game of chess on the porch - look out, brilliant minds at work. When it's quiet up here, it's REALLY quiet...it's a nice change of pace for a little while. I'm trying to finish up my book for book club. I love having the opportunity to read more up here.
After Annsley gets up, we're headed to a winery...and then to the greatest thing since sliced bread - Wal-Mart! :0) It's the big deal around these parts! Ha ha! More to come...

So I finally have time...
Ok. I'm back in the blogging world :0) Between work and an almost 9-month-old, by the end of the day, I'm usually too exhausted to brush my teeth, let alone write a blog entry.
Anyway, I'm in the mountains now, relaxing, eating and walking - I also got a little reading in, which is quite an accomplishment, especially during the day! The trip up here went pretty well, probably better for Bobby because he was driving and in the front, away from poopie diapers and Rook's fish breath. But overall, I can't complain. We all made it.
It was such a treat to sleep in this morning. The grandparents took Annsley when she finally decided she was done sleeping at 5:30! Of course, that was after waking up forgetting where she was and screaming bloody murder. And then there was Rook's falling face first down the steps in the dark with the safety gate (I guess we'll have to change the name of that gate!). But she got to read a few good books with Grandma and take some walks around looking at all the pretty flowers, not to mention squeezing in a nap, all before Bobby and I got up around 9:30. Nice.
Ok, time for a pork roast dinner. Yum! And maybe later, some smores over the fire out back. We're making memories as I write. Looking forward to making more this week :0)
