Early Bird...

06:15 A.M.
That’s the time I woke up this morning. When it’s finally weekend and one has the opportunity to sleep in...do you think I can? Nope, not tired! During the week, on the other hand, I am dead tired every morning when the alarm goes off.

By 06:30 A.M. I get out of bed after having snuggled with James for about 15 min. Yeah, he usually jumps up on the bed in the early mornings to squeeze in some snuggle time before the new day begins. My yummy little man!!!

An hour later we are already out and about. We went for a long walk at a place we go to quite often. However, we do not always take this route, a really nice and scenic route I must say. James had a blast as always – running around like a wild man. The path goes along a small river and at one point James runs down to the water front to scare off some birds. He runs in some water mud mix which makes him sink if not running fast enough... but he’s moving, mostly looking like a rabbit though the way he’s bouncing “up and down”. But all of a sudden he stops and whimpers. Precious little man... he comes back to me limping on his right front leg. I check it out but it seems fine, and after getting some assurance, he’s ready to go. No limping no more. Thank God. My baby is very sensitive in many ways; let us not forget he is still just a baby. His skin is super sensitive. He has scratches all over his body due to flying around like a whirl wind when out and about...and he gets scratches from when I go tracking with him too. ‘Cause the little man will never take things slow. It is 120% action all the time. =)

If you are wondering where my Big Baby is (a.k.a. Alih), wonder no more. He’s actually with my parents, at their house in the country, for the weekend. He goes with them almost every weekend. He gets some vacation, away from crazy James... and an old man needs some peace and quiet. And being with his grandparents he gets ALL the attention in the world.. he gets spoiled rotten... needless to say, HE LOVES IT! He should be back home tomorrow evening or early Monday morning though, when my folks are coming back to the city to work.

Anyhow, after the morning walk miss l.e.w. (that would me) is VERY tired. So when we get home I take a nap on the coach. Hehe... nice, nice! That’s what I love about weekends, being able to take a little nap when feeling like it. I cannot nap for too long though ‘cause I have errands to take care of and a lot of stores close as early as 2 P.M. on Saturdays.

We also got the patio cleaned up today. It’s looking rather nice I must say, but we still have to bring the patio furniture down (from our storage place, in the attic). We washed the whole patio so we had to let it dry before bringing the furniture out. But it will be taken care of tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, James has his tracking class at 11:30 A.M. We have not practiced that much this week but a few tracks we’ve done. And he’s getting better and better. So hopefully he’ll do even better tomorrow. I will include some pics from our morning walk, pics of James (of course =)) and some pretty scenic views.

Later. Ciao!

Checking out the water, a little scary. =)

James: "I am quite tough if I get to say so myself".




And here are some scenic pics from the walk:

Heey, tittade in idag också och du har då allt verkligen tagit tag i dina blogg gener! Snacka om uppdatering och jag verkligen älskar att titta på bilderna. James är en riktig ståtlig karl! Hur som helst, anledningen till att jag skriver är att jag hört ryktes vägar att du o mr L är på väg till Tyskland? Nu är det så här att mitt 20 års kalas hålls den 7 Juni och jag hoppas att ni inte gett er av ännu, för ni är nämligen jättevälkommna! Skulle bli superglad om ni kunde komma. Mamma skulle höra med päronen dina också! ciaoo, varma kramar, Qaroline
