my sweet love...


My sweet 6 year old son reading a 1960's Spiderman comic on the iPad first thing in the morning. He didn't want me to teach him to read but he's glad I did now.

*note: my helpful daughter posted in the comments that Grae is in fact 7 now. Oops. I guess I don't want him to grow up.

weirdness

When we pulled up the flooring upstairs we were hoping to find something from the past (besides dirt and other disgusting under the carpet stuff). Something like an old newspaper or a letter. But we found nothing.

So my daughter took it upon herself to leave something for the future homeowners. A letter.

Here is what it said. Disclaimer: I know my kids are weird. Not sure where they get it from.

"To whom it may concern:

If you are reading this (and you can still read cursive in the future) then know that you are ripping up a wood floor that took us (the previous homeowners) two days to put down.

Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate for president, and Barack Obama is the Democratic incumbent.

The Hobbit part One comes out in December. The polar ice caps have not yet melted (as the climate change scientists have threatened).

Muslims have not yet taken over Europe, and Apple is still better than Android.

Florida is not yet underwater, the West coast is still intact, and Han Solo shot first.

If you are not reading this, or are reading it in the post-apocalyptic future, it's because the world has ended, as the Mayans supposedly predicted, in 2012.

The Hunger Games is currently popular, and the Avengers movie comes out next Friday.

The 2012 summer Olympics are in London.

This letter was composed by the following people:

Lauren 
Maddie 
Ava "

just pictures

Just a bunch of pictures I've taken lately. Straight out of the camera with no editing (only cropping).







And then the spring flower pictures. Flowers are so easy to take pictures of. They don't move.









And finally my favorite cloud picture taken while gazing at the end of runway 02 at the Hillsboro Airport.

pictures...

These are all straight out of the camera without any editing. I've been working again on manual photography and challenging myself to get the right settings.

taking pictures...

Grae and I went for a walk at the library park and he told me what to take pictures of. So here they are.

Grae picked the last bunch of grapes in our backyard.

super...

Oh no! A meeting of the super villians...


Don't worry Captain America is on the way.



So is Iron Man.


I feel safer already.

hope...


"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

travel


This is Inca Kola. The number #1 pop in Peru.


It is an alarming shade of yellow. And tastes like bubble gum at first.

My dad went to Peru this year and decided that we needed to try some Inca Kola so he ordered it from Amazon. You can get anything on Amazon. I love Amazon.

I'm not sure I would recommend it as "amazing" but it was interesting to try. I think I'll stick with water.

Almost Wordless Wednesday...riding backseat

(and playing with photo filters)




See my sweetie Skycatcher in the background? *squeeze*
