The purpose of this page is to challenge me to open my eyes and truly see the world which surrounds me. So often we trudge though our daily routine, too busy or preoccupied to notice the little miracles happening all around us. I hope to capture, through the lens of a camera, glimpses of my sometimes mundane but glorious little world. I will attempt to post one snapshot each day to share with you. Enjoy!

So... their haircuts are just a bit shorter than what I would normally do or want for them, but the hair was so matted the groomer HAD to go to this length.  The good thing is, it's hair rather than fur and will grow out quickly.  Or at least enough to do the family photo for Christmas in a few weeks!  In the meantime, they're shaking and shivering but not bothering to remove the Christmas bow leis on their collars.

Anyone willing to venture a guess as to where we'll be going next?  This makes it official... I think.

I now have three Boy Scouts! Sam and five other Webelos II scouts crossed over to the Boy Scout troop this evening in a small ceremony performed by Boy Scout troop 425.  The Senior Patrol Leader welcomes the new scout and dresses him in his new neckerchief colors while the Scout Master looks on.  This was a special evening for our family because I sent them off as the den leader and Zach placed the colors.  The shirt Sam is wearing is the same one Zach wore for almost 5 years!
A big thanks to Nate for playing the role of photographer for the evening.
