Time with Cousins

We were able to spend quality time with family yesterday - something we are thankful for! Sean played non-stop with cousins for a couple of days.

Hot Dog

Gracie and Sean have learned to race.

Lee would throw a plastic hot dog toy and once it landed he'd say "go" and the race was on. The first one to it would grab it and race back to the starting point. I think Sean only won once - Gracie loved it.

Five Bucks

While I was on the phone, Lee walked in the house tonight with a large drink in one hand and whispered "5 bucks." I thought he was talking about the drink :) He quickly got the camera and we drove through the neighborhood taking pictures of bucks. Luke and Landen - this ones for you. We still have yet to get a picture of the "gray ghost" which haunts Lee as he's driving to work and beckons him to skip work and head to the lease. On another note...

Sean and I met my folks today and while we were driving he says out of the blue "Mom, say I'm in the ocean and say that I'm a pizza, where would I be?" I just started laughing because I couldn't imagine where that came from - turns out he was doing a hidden pictures page.

Thoughts for Thursday

"...they were at their wits' end.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and he brought them out of their distress.

He stilled the storm to a whisper;

the waves of the sea were hushed."
Psalm 107: 27-29

(Oregon Coast, Fall 2007)

Thoughts for Thursday

As the deer pants for streams of water,

so my soul pants for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Psalm 42:1-2

(Novemeber 2008, deer lease)

The Trip Home

On our way home from San Antonio, we stopped at Inks Lake State Park for an hour hike. It was a glorious day. I'm including pictures that Sean took since Lee and I rarely are seen in a photo at the same time.

The River Walk

I just thought this was a funny picture.

While we were in San Antonio on a business trip with Lee, Sean and I took a river boat cruise and walked along the river. We also went to the top of our hotel and talked about how a city works - since we could see most of it. We even were able to watch a helicopter land on top of an adjacent building - very cool. When Lee was done for the day, we toured the Alamo and ate Mexican food on the River Walk. We all really enjoyed the mariachi music!

Childrens Mueseum

We spent several hours at the San Antonio Children's Museum. It is such a fun place! Sean was a bank teller, pilot, farmer, dentist, construction worker, musician, dam engineer, shopper

all in one day.

Bubble Boy
There was a jet plane (minus the wings) to play in. We had a great time pretending. However, he put the hat on before I could stop him. The first thing Lee said when looking at our pictures - "You let him wear the hat!?!"

Two sides of the room were fish tanks, one was a mirror, and the other the door...
