Beautiful Weekend

Ben and I enjoyed a trip to the U.S. National Arboretum this weekend with its hot but beautiful weather. He took the first photo and I took the second. May God bless you!

Yard Birds

Ben took these photos of birds in our yard this weekend. I think he has more than 10 bird feeders out there! The birds flock to them and our cats have live entertainment (don't worry, they're inside cats). May God bless you!

Happy Birthday, Mark!

Happy Birthday to Mark!!!!! We love you and hope the year ahead is filled with love, peace and joy!

May God bless you and keep you!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to Dad, John & Josh and fathers everywhere!

Here are some interesting fatherly quotes:

“A father carries pictures where his money used to be.” ~ Author Unknown

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty. ~ Author Unknown

“It is much easier to become a father than to be one.” ~ Kent Nerburn

May God bless you!

Baby Gorilla Update

We enjoyed a trip to the National Zoo this weekend. Here is the best picture Ben could get before the mother gorilla took the baby out of view. You can tell that he's growing. I love how their hands are touching.



Here we have two Orangutans enjoying their sky walk. They move pretty cuickly and their acrobatics are fun to watch. All photographs in today's post by Ben. May God bless you!
