Our First Blog

Here we are, we made it to the "Blog".  I feel like you have to have kids to have a blog, but then I quickly remembered, that we have a lot of animals, and hawks and such, so maybe that counts.  Welcome to the "Smith's Blog".  I am sure we will have many adventures this summer to post up on the Blog, and near death experiences.   A little update on life, we are still living on the farm, and Chris is still indulging himself in his Falconeering!  He loves it, and he is always whispering sweet nothings to the newest member of our family, little "Sophie".  She sits quietly on her perch, often eats sick, dirty, sparrows, and poops in a bucket. She is great, I hope our children are as well behaved.  I am almost done with school, 2 months, it is crazy!  Life is good, we are having a good time, and just got back from hiking Angels Landing, and we almost died.  A quick little overview, it was snowy on top, and you hold onto the chains, the chains of life.  But, alas there is no where to put your feet, because it is very snowy and icy.  Therefore, you are pulling yourself up with the chain, one little slip, it is all over.  Cliffs on both sides of you, thousands of feet, and a narrow little walkway, covered with snow.  I had a lot of anxiety, and seriously thought I could possibly die.  But, here I am!  My little arms held on and persevered.  I will post some pictures later on Angels Landing!
