This is the Syracuse Vineyard gang that happily adopted Liam (red head with orange striped shirt). All week Liam signed the white t-shirts kids wore with the word "swag" and by week's end it became the meme for the whole camp of teens. Caitrin is also on this bus (in the first window). Liam got them chanting, "Liam's mom is pretty." I was putty in their hands after that.
I didn't take this photo but it represents what was going on in our family this week. Caitrin (left) and her best friend, Sarah (right), were at the Vineyard's Summer of Service where over 1000 teens come together to do random acts of kindness in Cincinnati. I think they are also into random acts of silly, too.
Blogger friend WritingasJo(e) visited me! We had a lovely vegan dinner on our deck just for her. She's every bit as wonderful in person as online, only oodles more animated! We had the best time. She's my sister from another mister for sure.
I didn't get to be with Noah on his birthday so I wanted to use an old photo of him from when he was a baby to remember his by. 24 years old! This is my grandmother, Eva, my Mom, Karen and me.
and check your iPad. New Media Cincinnati on the Second Saturday at The Pub! Felt great to be in the outdoor porch and feel warm for a change. (P.S. I love that I held out for this shot—waiting for the server in the red mini skirt to come into my view finder - that red-green contrast ftw!)
