Caterpillar

Today was a beautiful day: not too hot, not too breezy, perfect for spending several hours outside. While I was pulling weeds and Caleb was helping, we stopped for about fifteen or twenty minutes to admire a caterpillar. He still wasn't thrilled about holding a bug himself, but loved that I would. He also thought the inch-worm way of moving was one of the most funny things he'd ever seen. It made such a big impression on him that he told Eric about the "tiny green caterpillar" when he got home from work.

This is precisely why I love having this time with my little boy. I love introducing him to the nature, to science, to the world in which we live.

Something Beautiful Wednesday

Today's something beautiful is a photograph of one of my favorite places on earth: The Arch in Antigua, Guatemala. I've spent some time there studying Spanish and for debriefing after several mission projects. That city has a piece of my heart, and I wanted to share it with you.

Camping Weekend

This is where we spent our weekend:


It was just an absolutely beautiful place. Caleb was thrilled to camp on the "beach," and made the most of the giant sandbox.




Eric enjoyed fishing.


And we saw a deer!


We attended a good friend's wedding, enjoyed good food and drinks, caught up with friends I haven't seen since high school, and relaxed by the river. And despite the migraine I had Saturday night (and we'd forgotten to bring up ibuprofen or anything), it was an excellent, beautiful time in the mountains.

First Attempt at Adding Photos...

Caleb loves to play the piano.



Favorite buddies.



We've been putting together puzzles a lot lately.
