Turtle Power

Earlier this summer we took a trip to MOA to visit Dad's decorations for the summer of turtles promotion at the mall. 

Happy faces.

And some less so.

This summer has been a blur, but I guess that's what you get when you decide to move in early May, get the house on the market early June (?), sell it within 4 days and find the one you want within 2 more. Don't forget to go to London for a week before you move as well. And get sick for that same week and the week that you move. Yeah, I guess it's been a whirlwind.

But we're on the road to stabilization.

Marble, our very own turtle, has found a new home.

Where we can visit him.

And we love our Dad!

Quiet

In our backyard, an hour ago or so: 

Last night we had our windows open. 

It was quiet.

I heard a noise. 

Mike heard a noise. 

He walked to a window, looked into the woods and remarked that he could see lights from a house on the other side of the trees. He paused and turned his head so his ear was near the screen.

"Someone has a baby."

 No buses whizzing past, no loud cars or motorcycles. No bass thumping from the trunk. Just a baby. I can take that.
