I know! I know! Enjoy them (my kids) while they are little! Well, I have had plenty of “enjoyment” with my two little cooped-up bundles of joy.

So, I want to share about something else I am enjoying around here. My new door…er, my old, new door or my new, old door. Oh whatever, here are the photos…cause that is what counts anyway, right?

Did we have an earthquake (in MN) while I was taking this photo? I am not sure what happened to my cupboard door, but in real life it did not have a freaky shift in space.

Keeping It Real Clause: That dry erase board totally fell off after the photo. I used *gasp* tape. Yea, that doesn't work.

Thanks fil Phil for your ingenuity! He conjured up the idea…and did it for us. Neat Pete installed the hardware. I, Messy Jessy, added the clutter, of course.

All in all, this corner of our kitchen is my fav, fav, favorite.

Here is an image summary of how I captured Summer 2008 through my lens.

Molly and I went wandering.

She was buckled into a baby backpack still wearing her jammies and I was geared up with my camera and a huge coffee craving.

During wandering maps aren’t crucial and time is of very little importance.

Wandering is fun when I am by myself or at least as by myself as I can be with Molly on my back. I differentiate wandering from exploring or even adventuring. Exploring is gathering information from a new frontier and adventuring requires a certain element of danger.

Wandering is walking on or off the beaten path if and when I want to with ease.  It promotes inner joy and satisfaction in nature which all lead to my ability to hear and meet with God.

Here are a few of my favorites from my wandering photo walk with Molly at Family Camp.

The water was fine, a bit chilly though!
