thin

lately I've been feeling spread very thin, and whenever that happens I'm grateful for my camera and all the silly everyday things that I glimpse through it that remind me what makes all the crazy busy worthwhile, like...

cousins that make us laugh...
sometimes...
 

 and "lunch" prepared for me by little hands . Yes, that is chalk sprinkled on my spinach...
and time outside. together ...

 
oh, and wonderful new additions to our family. This is Jp, he is from Mexico and he living with us for the year....although if it were up to us we'd never let him return home. It won't be easy, because he is seriously the best, most gracious, and most engaging 13 year old I'm likely ever to meet.

  1. Love the pictures, that's awesome you have a student from Mexico living with you! Wow a year how exciting, what a lucky boy to be with such an amazing American family! My friend has a student from Germany living with them, she is soo in love with America I don't see her going back! She's a junior in high school, now hoping to attend a college here.
