pop pop's lake

The girls and I are back from 8 days in South Carolina...a perfect escape from the Tallahassee heat and humidity. My parents live on Lake Hartwell, but somehow all of their grandkids call it "Pop Pop's Lake". My dad should be quite flattered they assume it's all his!

potty training: day 8

It is going to take a long, long time.

our little friend

I tried not to jump when I saw a little baby lizard on Meg's curtain when I went to open them after naptime. I knew Meg was watching me and she would react however I did. So after I kind of jumped (a little) I then tried to play it off as a pleasant surprise, like "how fabulous that this baby lizard keeps popping up all over the house - what fun!" I don't know if I was very convincing, though, since she wouldn't go near it, either. He is cute. I would just rather see him outside.

the chief end of man

...is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. How beautiful is that? So good and simple.
