To Market to Market

Falls church farmers market - across the street from our house and a wonderful destination for our saturday morning energy.

Father Greg Schenden

Listening to today's homily regarding the ascension as a reminder of Good Byes and Trust, I was reminded that Father Greg was recently ordained - so recently that your baptism last year was likely one of his first acts as an ordained priest in the Holy Trinity church. Not sure when this will be picked up by you - but try holytrinitydc.org and look for the audio archives. If still up, today's would be worth a listen.

All Pulling Together

Thanks to big brothers for helping to keep our tot in tow as we head from green fields filled with soccer memories. Congrats to N for two goals today. And what fun to play panda bears up in the crepe myrtles at Carter Baron.

You ran to the window this morning and were eager to show us the birdies outside in the dawning day.

Good Morning!

A Sign

Two hands behind your head. A sure sign that a nap is not far away. Just like your oldest brother.

Ant Farm

With you today at Beanetics while mamá is at the doctor. I poured some cinammon on my coffee as you munched on a half plain bagel with your bare summer feet rubbing against my leg. My next sip of coffee brought a very strong memory from deep in my past of an ant farm where I believe I must have used cinammon for food. Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins speaks of the strong cognitive relations of smell; I don't doubt it.

Earl's Sandwich Shop

Yum yum. Lemonade while we wait for our grub.

Lucky Day

A beautiful day of sunny blue skies and rolling down hills.

Meadowlark

We enjoyed watching your blond hair tossed about by breezes, beneath blue skies with love around you. You were cheered by a family as you cavorted face first toward the base of the hill below.

Bláa Logið

Your blue eyes against the blue water complimented your genuine smile. The most stunning moment came as a group of 10 icelandic women started an impromptu achapello concert. Mostly sopranos, the melodic tunes sealed an image of youth and joy that I hope never to erase from mind.

Gummies in Iceland

What an assortment. Bats, bracelets, cocacola bottle, tools, fish, eggs, watches, letters. Takk Fyrrir, Hagkaup

What fun on a May Day. Now off to Reykjavík city center for a parade.
