Richard and Bre'el's "Backyard"

Ok, it's across the street from their backyard. Pretty close. Pretty nice. And there are big slugs!

Bubbles Beach

Special battery-powered bubble blowers from Mrs. Bre'el!

Campbell River Crab Rock Beach

Boys' First Ferry!

Port Angeles to Victoria...

Hollow Driftwood

How old do you think this trunk would be!

Rainforest Walk to the World's Largest Spruce Tree

Wing

Rummy Cub

Aren't You Going to Miss... This!

Ransom wanted to show Nana his shell.

BIG, Big Sandbox

Of course, Ransom did just say it moments before...

Ohhh, Pacific Beach!

Laugh Saver

Ransom Walks the Waves

(He was here two years ago but needless to say, he wasn't walking in the waves!)

Pre-Road Trip Birthday "Cake"

Concentration

Apparently He Thinks it is Funny

Although to me it looks uncomfortable!

Hooray for happy non-screaming brother time!

Through the Praise of Children and Infants II

Transcript: "dump", "he is my help and salvation", "Oh my soul praise him... for He is my help and salvation... Oh my soul praise Him..."


(I prompted him wrong and accidentally changed songs to All Creatures of Our God and King)...


Thanks, Carolyn for using these hymns for your processional - I think after your wedding we started singing both of them more consistently.

Ransom the Teacher

Apparently Leina and I trained Cara in the same way!

How They Like to Clean Up Their Toys

Someone Asked Nicely Enough

It's really Grandma Harder's molasses cookie dough but it still makes "Gingerbread Men"! Jill's vinyl storybook records that she gave Finn two Christmases ago has the Gingerbread Man and it ends with "Perhaps someone will make some for you - if you ask nicely enough!". Someone did!

Through the Praise of Children and Infants

...You have established a stronghold against your enemies. (Psalm 8:2)

(Musical interlude from"All Creatures of Our God and King")

How we survive routine 5-hour roadtrips:

Pardon the sugar-slurpees, though. First (and last) of the summer. For the record, they drank only the top 1 cm. :)

Ransom reads Panda

Finn is older in these posts, (scroll down) but the books are the same and so is the sweetness!

Gift that Keeps on Giving

Thanks, Nana and Grandad!

"Snow" at the end of June

I had heard the complaints of the poplar fluff but had never seen it. Finn wanted me to weave cloth from thread we would make from it!
