Jeff finishes his first triathlon







I'm almost across the finished line!!! The hills on the bike and the run were tough. The whales, I mean other competitors, in the water were large, but it was definitely worth it.

but mom...

We were visiting with some friends and my friend was gently reprimanding her daughter for doing something (I think it was putting her own clothes under her mom's bed), and her response was something along these lines:

"But mom, I'm just trying to have a tiny bit of fun."

...Aren't we all, Eliza.

Tam, I hope it's okay to steal her phrase. It's my new favorite.

out of the mouths of babes...

so I was driving in the car with all children (of course), listening to our favorite artist (Jack Johnson) when Haley said,
"Mom does God wear camouflage?"
Me: "Huh?"
Haley: "In the song, he says God wears camouflage."
Me: "Oh. Uh... I don't know" (think fast Janae) "What do you think Haley?"
Haley: "Yeah, I think God wears camouflage... cause you can't see Him."

I think I laughed and smiled at the same time. Amazing observer, that Haley.
