just some pix
I'm over at Karen's parent's house posting from dialup! But it seems to be working okay.
AND, i've got a dirty-diapered baby on my lap who needs attention soon, so this will be a short post with mostly just pictures.
Yesterday, Jim, Eric and I went to "Egypt" to ride bikes. Jim is the most fit of us, so he got some mad sweet air, some of which i captured in above's picture. It's way cooler looking in real life.
I got up with Katrina and Houston this morning, and just after changing Katrina i went to find Houston, who had wandered off. This is what i found. He had gotten the pancake mix from the shelf, gotten up on the chair, poured dry mix into the pan, and was ready to pour oil on top of it! He's a bright kid, and independant! The analytical, emotionally detached side of me wonders how well he'd do if somehow Katrina and him were stranded somewhere. I almost think he'd survive okay... physically at least.
This is what i was talking about with "shaking head pictures". So we took a couple WITHOUT actually shaking our heads, and with no flash.
Here they
are are. Sweet, huh?
There's Eric with his bad self. He didn't crash once.
There's me with my mad tight air grabbing ability. I was the only one who wore long sleeves and pants, thinking how valuable they'd be when coming into violent contact with Mother Earth. Even though i did crash once (right over the handlebars - it was sweet) i didn't get injured as much as Eric, who got a scrape on his calf from the pedal and blistered hands.
Me and my narcissisticism gotta take a bunch of self portraits. So there's probably the most dangerous one. I was looking backwards, about to go down a big hill thing. I was actually thinking, "if i crash doing this and hurt myself, i'll never hear the end of it". Whew, i'm okay.
This one is long and skinny, so i'll put a popup to it. Pretty cool.
Pastor Rob talked today about God's creation, and how it's like a SONG, and we can lead the best lives by living in HARMONY with the way that song is! God singing to create and renew the universe is something that really appeals to me - i think it has been mentioned here before.
