Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

A Birthday Party

After we got back from the creek, our friends left and the kids changed clothes so we could walk down the street to our friend Nate's birthday party.  He turned eight.  Kelley managed to avoid mingling with adults by sticking her camera in kids' faces.  That worked out well.

Owen and Chloe were both close to the action, singing loudly and helping blow out the candles.  They had an insane amount of fun all day long.

They were disappointed when it was time to leave (shortly after the cake was consumed) because they didn't see anyone else leaving and the majority of the kids were all still there.  But both kids walked back home nicely without complaining, arguing or crying.  And they were praised to high heaven for that, too.  :)
