Today was amazing. Perfect summer day, the weather was incredible, my plans were wide open, except for Henry and Nora's first piano lesson in the morning. They loved it. Their teacher definitely knew how to handle kids. After they finished, the day was just too nice to waste on working on projects, so the kids and I just kinda hung out. I took them and the dog for a walk and Nora asked if she could go run in the fields that line the roads in the center of the park. Normally I would have said no because of the ticks, but the grass seemed so sparse due to the dry spell we were in. As soon as she stepped foot in the field, these waves of grasshoppers shot out and away from her. They were everywhere. I have never really seen anything like it. Everywhere we stepped clouds of grasshoppers would jump out of the way. The entire field was completely infested with them. I tried to capture it in a picture, but it doesn't really do it justice, it was, and I don't use this loosely, magical.

Beautiful picture, Dave. You, your wife, and your kids are going to look back on these entries some day and be so thankful for them. Keep up the wonderful work (and I am sure that some days it does feel like work!) As a scrapbooker, I appreciate the time and effort of journaling. It makes the each picture so much more meaningful.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement Lisa. Yeah, it gets a little daunting sometimes. I already am appreciating the project though. If you click on the title at the top of the blog, it lets you scroll through all of the entries, page by page. ITs pretty awesome to have, even half a year captured like this. I know scrapbooking is a "girl" thing, but the idea of it, and even the process, appeals to me too.
DeleteI like her sneakers with the dress;)
