This one gives me a run for my money! But every once in a while he slows down, gives me a hug, and a sweet smile like this. It’s hard to stay mad at a face like that.

Geoff and I will be going to these lovely destinations (Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia) the end of this month. Geoff was accepted to present at a conference in Vienna and I will be happily tagging along. Thank you to various members of Geoff’s family who are watching the kidlets for us.

If you’ve been to these places and have suggestions for us, send me an email or comment below please!

It’s definitely summer here at the Wright house. Geoff is off for the rest of the summer, and it is heaven on earth. All sorts of projects are getting done, Seven Peaks is our second home, and I can actually go running and do errands kid-less! Oh-and Geoff shaved his head which is always the true sign it’s summer. I opted not to do Isaac’s quite yet, I love it when it gets all sunbleached.

Thank you Aunti Em for our package of crafty delights.

My dad’s the handsome fellow in the middle, next to his dad. All seven of us were just a twinkle in his eye at this point. I love you dad! Thank you for the wonderful example of love, service, humor, and respect that you have always been to me.

And to the father of these two ragamuffin children, you have always exceeded my expectations, and as a father, you blew them right out of the water. Your children adore you, as do I.

My darling niece and her mommy. Chubby’s never been so cute.
