Our little guy crossed the finish line and is a champion!! See?! His medal is engraved with his name, Turtle Race Marathon Winner, August 2009. He's turning 2 next month. That just doesn't seem possible. Think I'm going to make him a turtle cake. Still elated about being free of the aspiration and long journey! Can you tell?

It's raining today. After a couple of years of drought in the land and tough times in our lives, it feels soooo refreshing. God put a beautiful, bright rainbow right over our neighborhood this afternoon. The sunset colors always amaze me.

Rainbows...

School is coming along. We haven't quite gotten settled into a good routine yet, but I'm proud of all 4 kids for going with the flow and (mostly) having good attitudes. Danielle, Jake, and Allie are doing speech and Danielle is also doing debate. It's going to be a lot of work! Yikes. Luke takes his nap in my lap during that time...sweet boy. I need to take pictures of this stuff!
