Vermont

We took to the woods for a few days. I didn't really tell anyone that we were going save for a few family members and the neighbor who watched the cat. I think I kept my secret out of fear for Maura. What would happen if she had a seizure in the remote woods of northern Vermont? How would we handle it? We didn't even have cell service! But 5 days later, Maura survived her first camping trip rather uneventfully..



There is just something about the woods that brings out the best in us. Joe and I have been camping since early in our relationship. In fact, ten years ago, when we got married, we headed to Vermont to go camping. That was the very reason we headed back!

Ten years! This time we brought along the kids and were able to smile and enjoy all the things we have to be thankful for over the last ten years! We've come a long way in that time. I'm glad we took to the woods to appreciate it!
