denali was our little runaway the other week. he was tired of how poorly he is treated. so he packed his bags and tried to ride his bike, but it was a little cumbersome. 

so he came back and we took a picture one last time all together. i told him it was so i could show the police what he looked like before someone stole him. (i know i am a terrible parent) 

 anyway. he walked away and came home after about 30 seconds...

enough time he thought to teach me a lesson about asking him to pick up his toys too much.

thanks denali.

lesson learned.

Thank  you Grandma Ginger for buying the boys rain gear. We have learned that if you do not go out in the rain, you do not go out.

For all my friends who love tiny things, I found this tiny snail in our flower bed.

 

ex.quis.ite

adjective-
of rare excellence of production or execution, as works of art or workmanship

I sat pondering upon the bounties of life and it suddenly came to me. I finally realized what the perfect treat would be. Ingredient by ingredient I drew it out in my mind. Some of this, a little of that and a whole lot of sugar. It came together as part cheesecake, part white chocolate chip cookie, with a crumble topping that includes cake batter, to top it off.  Well it did not disappoint. I will only need a few days to get over the sugar withdrawals.

Cheers, Ben
