Guinea Pigs that is.
Anna is now the proud owner of Sonya and Scarlet, two cute guinea pigs we found on craigslist.
I know… they are so cute!
Meeting the guinea pigs for the first time! (Brian picked them up on the way home from work)
Awwwwwwwww
All set up! Everything the other family had and the guinea pigs $20.
All smiles.
Now there is hay inside all the time!
Wish I got the picture when they were both sitting in the box.

Some of the hard parts about helping Jordan are how few things motivate him, how few things he prefers, how few treats we can offer…
Thanks to Yummy Earth organic suckers… well, we have a sucker that goes IN the mouth for several minutes before being thrown!!!!

Some things are not a walk in the park. Here is Grandpa, Dad (Jeff) and the girls together. Grandpa recently lost his second wife to cancer. We miss Nancy a great deal. I am glad Grandpa came for a visit.

Other things come so quickly! Like the eighth birthday party of my firstborn and her first sleepover.

Some things truly are walks in the park. And that is true even when you run out of breath.
Here we go again!
This is a very big fir tree!
The slowest person on the walk is the person who takes the most photos……

I was treated (by my husband!) to a full day spent with my family – My parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my uncles and aunts, sister and family, grandma…. it was a really special day. Thank you, Brian for letting me experience all that quality time.
I got to drive down with Neal and Stephanie to Jerry’s where we had a weenie roast in the rain (no joke!) and then we went to Glen’s lakefront property at Dorena to hunt for Lady Slippers. Between a heart soaking to full like a sponge with family time and eyes and heart expanding with awe at God’s creation and then a really good heart to heart with my parents on the way home… well, it was a good time.
Let me share a few photos of some of what God shared with me that day:
We brought the food in out of the rain to eat!
I can’t remember what this is called
Walking from the road towards the lake.
What is this?
Our God is beautiful.
He is so creative.
He leaves me full of wonder.
This is a lady slipper!
This is what you call… healthy moss.
Trillium! They take 7 to 9 years from seed before they are mature enough to produce a bloom.
What is this called?

I have a hard time finding giant slugs beautiful, but they are pretty amazing!

It was wonderful to have children with us as we explored.

This moss was something else…. it is even stretchy! Actually, is it moss or lichen?
I wish I could somehow express the scale of this tree better. Incredible.
