One of my favourite times to go walking through the trails with my constant companion Katie the Dog was on a sparkling cold winter day. The fresh snow made the world clean and brilliant, and the mud and bugs of spring, summer and fall were absent. I&#8217;d daydream about a day when I could bring my future children on a similar hike with melancholy optimism; at the time, we were deep in our struggle with infertility.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I can bring my boys and the endlessly patient Katie out on just such a day and enjoy a wander in the snow. We can&#8217;t go as far, or as fast, as we used to, but Katie didn&#8217;t seem to mind. I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh at her obvious joy as she leapt over drifts and ran freely down the snowy paths once again, laughing red-cheeked boys running excitedly behind her.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVNm53j1I\/AAAAAAAAAGE\/kxNb0XYDnVI\/s1600-h\/21-jan-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022592439206514514\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVNm53j1I\/AAAAAAAAAGE\/kxNb0XYDnVI\/s320\/21-jan-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVN253j2I\/AAAAAAAAAGM\/wxkzL411AYY\/s1600-h\/21-jan-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022592443501481826\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp3.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVN253j2I\/AAAAAAAAAGM\/wxkzL411AYY\/s320\/21-jan-2.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOG53j3I\/AAAAAAAAAGU\/M1l3gZ6b7mc\/s1600-h\/21-jan-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022592447796449138\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOG53j3I\/AAAAAAAAAGU\/M1l3gZ6b7mc\/s320\/21-jan-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOW53j4I\/AAAAAAAAAGc\/Ri2Ac2DEsGQ\/s1600-h\/21-jan-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022592452091416450\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOW53j4I\/AAAAAAAAAGc\/Ri2Ac2DEsGQ\/s320\/21-jan-4.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOW53j5I\/AAAAAAAAAGk\/e99VZ2V7eA0\/s1600-h\/21-jan-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022592452091416466\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_F8hCQ7IbS40\/RbPVOW53j5I\/AAAAAAAAAGk\/e99VZ2V7eA0\/s320\/21-jan-5.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in the day, before we had kids, we lived in a townhouse on the edge of a fairly large urban woods.
