Jammin' and Cool Duds

     This morning I was thinking about how the world runs, and how it often feels so hard. In accordance with that feeling, I turned on this song, which I was thinking of and hoped it would bring me some joy...

.....and I  started cleaning up breakfast. When I came back into the living room I saw Liam had grabbed his keyboard and Barrett was putting batteries into his guitar. I, of course, grabbed my camera, and just enjoyed them and the music for a bit.

 

Frog wants to Jam as well.

Yep, it turned out to be a pretty good day.

Sense of Place

I was recently asked to consider how people do or do not impact the feeling of a place. Does the lack of people create the space, or the energy of the people within the space.

Corbin broke his arm and 2 days later, for his x-rays and casting at Children's Hospital in Seattle, I took my camera just in case a few places looked interesting. Here are my two favorite shots.

 

 

 

A Birthday from Before

    So, on October 8th, my son turned 8. This is his golden year. I'm not  really sure he realizes that life isn't ever going to be near as much fun as it is right now. For the next few years he gets to enjoy being young enough to trick or treat, old enough to ride his bike to his friend's houses alone, no more responsibility than a few chores, and just enough responsibility to spend the night with his friends. His bike is his car, no insurance, no fuel. His job is to learn, no tuition, no expensive text books. His relationships are simple, no dating, no hormones. Ice Cream can still turn a bad day into a good one, God's love is easy to trust in, and sharing a birthday party, no matter how simple, with your friends is simply awesome.

Corbin spys the finish line

Straight up Relay Races....To wear them out....maybe.

Three Cheers for the Birthday Boy.
