The highlight of our week? Mia, Ty, and I got to see a Blue Morpho Butterfly up-close and personal. Even better? We got pictures to prove it.
I wish you could understand just how elusive these guys were. They seemed to be taunting all of us who just wanted one good shot. They rarely landed and [...]

I should have taken a bigger bowl out.

Set the Stage: PJ and Mia received small Gospels of John while we were visiting Gettysburg this weekend. Let me tell you. It’s quite an experience to be proselytised in 100 degree weather by a guy dressed in Civil War garb. Especially when you already believe. He was giving out free water though.
Anyway, they were [...]

The good news is that our summer has been full of sun and fun (which makes for lots of great pictures). The bad news is that we’ve been having so much fun that I haven’t had time (or energy) to blog at the rate at which we are having fun.
At the end of the school [...]

When I wake up and it’s already 90, I wish we were here.
Building sandcastles.
But we’re not. Probably Thursday. Today we’ll be responsible and return library books and go grocery shopping.
Have drums. Will play.
I just wish they all sounded as quiet as these.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled [...]

I took so many picture camping last weekend that my head is spinning trying to make heads or tails of them. We crammed a lot in plus it was Mia’s birthday. Here’s a bunch. You’ll be seeing more in the days to come. Happy Friday!
