i found this oddly comforting and candid note amongst my long passed away grandfather’s belongings. i have no idea why he wrote this yet i can easily relate to the sentiment. i miss him, and my grandmothers so much. if you are fortunate enough to still have your grandparents give them a big hug.

Oh, he would loved to have them meet Sophie and Walker! Love you Mom.
I miss him every day, too.
There are so many questions I would like to ask him and so much I would love to share with him, especially about what great grandkids he has. Nana

in a RV, with an AC on strike…brilliant! really, we had a blast. we started in Vegas (106 in the shade) and high tailed it to Zion National Park where it was a reasonable 95. Then, on to Bryce, Escalante, and Capitol Reef which were, thankfully, at higher elevation. If you haven’t already, visit utah….

So glad we did it Dad. Can’t wait for our next adventure.
Thanks Dave! You guys need to do it in a few years.
I haven’t been on the blog in awhile. Such beautiful stuff man. I love this series of shots. You are gonna have some gems when she is older to look back on. It looks like you guys had a great time.
WOW! Looks like another great trip.
and you’ve got two pretty models to photograph.
Great pictures So many people think about doing a trip like this but never do it. What wonderful memories. TMFW

…before it gets real busy. soph and I took off for a hike in shenandoah national park this weekend. the weather was perfect. the riprap loop has to be one of my favorite loop hikes in the snp. it has some stellar camp spots along cold spring hollow. this was sophie’s first taste of backcountry…

oh my! those wheeler grandbabies are beautiful. i love seeing asheville, it is amazing. sigh….
Oh I love Asheville – beautiful city, love the spaces … though it was where Martin and I were yelled at while on a street corner for being “f-ing hippies).
Echard, Is there no end to your photographic talents? Sophie and Walker are the best. TMFW

if you ever find yourself in the asheville area and want to have a blast, look up huck finn adventures. they took us on a great 9 mile stretch of the broad. the spring rains meant that it would be a quick trip. we rolled through some burly class 3′s and 4′s. yummy!

Great times, Echard! Thanks for throwing the party!!
Thanks for a great party E. Eva so enjoyed herself. She loves your wife and would probably welcome the chance to be a sister to Soph.
Wish we’d been there, it looks like a blast. These are gorgeous, as always, Eck.

Is this one cool girl or is she the youngest person in the Federal witness protection program? THE MAN FROM WEAVERVILLE

Ech, you crack me up! Sophie is very lucky to have you document her growing up! Tell her I would like to borrow the glasses for a consultation I have tomorrow. (LOL!) =)
