this post is dedicated to grandpa jim.

these were taken a last week - and it has been beautiful weather here. today it got pretty hot, 84 degrees, and we are all pretty miserable. we forgot what sweat was. yuck.

i've spent the day designing, as amos is taking an extra long nap during this summer afternoon. ricky's sister alissa leaves for her international house of prayer internship tonight. i am SO excited for her, and don't want to think about living the next 3 months without her. it will have lots of lonely days, but i wouldn't trade it for the gift she's about to receive.

have a beautiful day! summer's still going strong.
