Naptime Wisdom

Sometimes I like to use my blanket as a pillow......but then I wake up with the blanket's imprint on my face.

Don't worry, it doesn't hurt (it's just a little embarrassing.)

You Know You've Also Been Wondering

Every Olympic swimming competition has Grady and me asking each other how the Olympic Record and/or World Record is consistently beat and in some cases even "smashed." We even speculated that the water wasn't as dense or something, allowing the swimmers to move through it with less resistance. I mean, the swimmers of old weren't horrible swimmers, although that's sure how it seems-! Anyway, in search of answers I came across this article. Who knew the swimsuits were so high tech? And that the water depth could have that much of an impact? But I still don't know if I'm convinced...

Do you have six minutes? They won't be wasted.

Marion, We Miss Your Mondays!

In honor of how we spent every Monday evening when we lived in Dresden, I made a "Marion-style" meal for us this past Sunday. We would meet at Marion's for our English Bible Study every week, and although throughout my three years people came and went, there was always the same certain "feel" about Monday nights. Open-faced sandwiches (being sure to butter them properly first) and whatever else happened to be around that made good munching food was served. I even topped if off with a cup of Rooibos tea! But it's just not quite the same and never will be. We miss you Marika, Randy, Amy, Lynnette, Bri, Steve, Sarah, Daniil, and Marion!!

Surrey Bikes

One of the best things we got to do while visiting Canada was rent surrey bikes in the town of Waterton. We pedaled around the town (sometimes at high speeds thanks to Natalie's power legs) for an hour and Caitlin contently sat in the front basket with the best view of any of us. We'll have to do this again!
