Summertime

It's hard to believe our summer started out like this:


But here in California we are sure making up for it now!


It's even too hot to ride bikes right now.


The 100 degree temperatures melt me.


But I'm keeping the kids supplied with homemade popsicles and lots of slippy slide time.
(And lots of air conditioned house time for me!)

Fixations

I'm still drawn to photographing our rain boots.  I don't know what it is about them!  


My amazing friend and photographer, Roxann gave me this idea to pop the boots.  I think I love it.


{Hi Roxy!! ♥}

Maybe I'm loving rain boots right now because they are supposed to get dirty.


We don't have to worry about them.


We slip 'em on, kick 'em off and never think a thing about them.


I'm also kinda obsessed with this:


She takes my breath away.  
Sometimes I look at her and I just know with certainty that God is going to do great things through her.  It makes my breath catch in my throat...this holy God of wonders we serve.


Recently I've also become preoccupied with the sky.  I love clouds.  
I think I know why.  My ultimate fixation, Jesus, is mentioned in connection with clouds in the bible a time or two...
I watch for Him...is that silly?  Maybe.  But that's okay.  Child-like faith is okay.  After all, as it is written in Matthew 24:42 Jesus himself said "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come". 


At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.  Mark 13:26

After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:17

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. Revelation 1:7

Garden Girl


Spring is making it's way into our backyard.


This is our persimmon tree.



Jeff and Grace planted some vegetables today.



Chinese leeks, radishes, turnips and zucchini.


The swiss chard from last summer made it all the way through the winter.


Grace the other day: "Mom I just ask so many questions because I want to be a scientist and I need to know everything".  Yep.


This is our Fruit Splash tree given to us by Kristen for Christmas.
It will have nectarines, peaches and apricots.





Here's the little scientist learning about roots


and collecting rocks.


Of course, scientists can be goofy too you know.







My Grace

It's hard to believe this precious little baby


is now this sweet, fun, bright little girl!


Starting kindergarten this fall?  No way!
Every age and each new stage has something so joyful about it.




Gracie, there is so much fun ahead for us!

Someone Please Tell Me

Who is this?


Because it certainly isn't my baby boy!



That's right.  Now he's my little boy.


I couldn't be more blessed!
