Bread Under Construction.

Found this print hanging in Panera (likely place).
It reminded me how much I love bread and how important it is for keeping bellies full across the world.

Here are some facts and figures to chew on.
Here's how to help this second.

Lion Toosh-Moldy Duck Day.

Someday soon, little tike.

Update on the ducks: we found a whole duck crew that likes bread!

We also found a little sickie in the bunch.
(note: moldy bill, which came with a severe limp and fighting duck spirit).

Today's highlight:

54/365.

Same space, more character.

This is my typical morning.

:)

53/365.

The day after I dedicate a post to birds...

They poo on me.

For the record, there was not a tree close enough for my winged friends to perch and scheme; no, only blue sky above (as shown).
And yet, they found me.
It was more than one dropping, just to be clear.

I guess this is what Texan bird poo looks like. Interesting composition.

Today was for the birds.

Here's a song about this bird.

Here's a song about this bird.

Just something about the ones that fly.

51/365.

Happy Birthday, Faith.

It wouldn't be from me if it was on time. :)
Love you yesterday and everyday. Always.

Spring is Coming.

That kind of aunt part II.
Chicken Pot Pie.

He's still my favorite at this point!

48/365.

Twins!

Yes, I am that kind of aunt.

47/365.

Breakfast for Dinner.

Preben's pancakes were very close to Bapa panckes. Amazing.
(Nothin' like the Holtum in-laws!)

46/365.

The Adventures of Noah.

First time on a slide! I think he liked it.

45/365.

Beautiful tulips from my most faithful Valentine.

Thanks, Pops.

44/365.

Coffee. Music. Solitude.

Today.

43/365.

What is it about Sesame Street?

This is Noah whenever we try to show him something fun on the computer.
(disinterested)

This is Noah when he saw Sesame Street for the first time.
(mesmerized)

42/365.

LOVE this kid.

Today it rained. We laughed.

This is what Noah does when you ask him what a pig says...

(He doesn't actually make a sound, just breathes through his little nose.)

41/365.

Jimmy John's

Take anyone else back to Athens?
Definitely one of the perks of Houston.

(Still free smells!)

40/365.

Swans and Donuts.

So it seems as though Houston ducks don't enjoy eating stale bread.
But we found some other more beautiful and receptive birds!
The swans around these parts are huge!

In other news, I ate an absurd amount of donuts today.
Ab-surd.

39/365.

World's Next Superhero.

38/365.

Spotless Ladybug.

Her back that lacked any real spots reminded me today that it's not about who I wish I was or even who I think I am.

It's about who God made me.
My identity rests there.
Only there.

May I continue to strive for THAT identity.

37/365.

Meatlover.

We always make heart-shaped meatloaf on February 14th.
It came a little early this year.

Sweet heart, right? (pun intended.)

36/365.

A boy after my own heart.


(Mommy wasn't there.)

Still learning the basics:

these jars are mighty fragile, I am mighty clumsy, etc.

35/365.

I know you've been waiting...




Man, how I do love him.

34/365.

Calling All Best Friends.

Now you know what I expect.
(big yellow hair, blue face, and great earrings would also be nice, but not required).

33/365.

My new space for a time.

THE most comfortable bed I have ever used.
Leave it to the Norwegians.

32/365

good food + good friends = sweet farewell.

Lunch: A quaint spot in the Highlands.

Dinner: A homey spot in Vinings.

31/365.

I took these stones to the foot of the cross.

I left them at the foot of the cross.

And with hands still dirty, I took the bread and drank of the cup.

I gave Thanks.

Thanks be to God.
