Welcome August

taking a moment to find joy in the little things

My girls have been planning a Water Wars party for at least 6 months, and it took place last week. Eight girls, lots of water and our backyard for 4 hours.

I had the opportunity to travel to Peru in 2010 and met some amazing people. One of them was Cecilia, and she was a fantastic (and fun) translator for our group. She happened to be passing through Portland this past week, and I was thrilled that we got to meet up for coffee on Sunday morning.

At one point during the water wars I went out to clean up a bit and found this clever way the kids came up with to identify which cup of jello was theirs...
