Lazy Summer Days

Ever since we've gotten back from our beach vacation, which was then followed immediately by Brian's first birthday, which was followed immediately by our church's VBS, we've kind of settled into a somewhat more relaxed schedule befitting traditional lazy summer days. The only news I can think of is that Brian hates shoes and the only time I've picked up my camera was to take a picture of a truly stunning moth. I'm no lepidopterist but when you see a beautifully colored moth with a 4 inch wingspan you take a picture and then look it up. This one is an Imperial Moth or Eacles imperialis if you happen to be a lepidopterist.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Brian's first birthday is this week and we went ahead and threw him a little birthday party. Brian had a lot of fun "eating" his cake and playing with his balloon. It was a really great party. Happy Birthday Brian!

Happy 4th

OK, so it's not the 4th, but we've been on vacation. We spent the week of the 4th in Myrtle Beach and it was beautiful. The weather was perfect, the beaches were perfect, and most important the water was warmfuly perfect. Myrtle Beach being in South Carolina offered all the wonderful entrapments of Southern hospitality, good food, unlimited supply of sweet ice tea (with plenty of ice), and a local Krispy Kreme that made leaving hard to do. Weslie liked it so much that she tried to leave a part of herself behind, a tooth, but the tooth fairy found it despite being on vacation.
