Counting blessings reminds me to stop and breathe.
In the middle of a crazy busy week, we started a new "tradition" of sitting on the patio and eating a peach before tackling our to-do lists.

We spent some time this weekend back in our hometown visiting people we love.

Ringlet curls, sleepy toddler smell, and playing with toys on the kitchen table
... ... ... ... ...
Two nephews (on different sides of the family, about three months apart in age) met for lunch and a riveting conversation about monster trucks. No contest on who's taller, though.

An empty house, and a new adventure for my parents

PS- Sorry about your facial expression in this picture, Kiwi. It was just too funny not to put on the internet for the world to see. ;)

Bear trying to catch frogs by the pond- tail high, eyes bright

THIS WEEK
Here on the blog...
Knowing the Bible (and memorizing verses, and getting all the trivia right) is great... but knowing the Bible isn't really the point. Knowing the Author is.
And not at all related to the Bible at all, but still seriously influential in my life... S'more Cookies. Your tastebuds are welcome. And I apologize to your waistline.
