Interesting Pictures

We bought a carpet for Nathan's room, but it needed to be bound. So we took it to a carpet store, and while we were expecting to be told "Leave it, and we'll call you when it's done," we were told "If you'll wait about 15 minutes my friend will be here to do it, and you can take it home right away." We didn't really understand, but when this truck pulled up we learned what he was talking about. This is a portable rug/carpet sewing machine. He sets up his table, threads the yarn to this thing inside the van, and binds the edges. He had the whole thing bound in just a matter of minutes, probably less than 5. Cool, huh?

Nathan's "reading" one of his mommy's personal childhood favorites
"Go, Dog! Go!"

Nathan was having fun playing with our friend's bracelet, so we decided to take the opportunity to dress him up. Isn't he adorable???

Mark snapped this picture driving home from a fishing trip. He captured the small strip of land that connects a peninsula to the mainland. I think it's a pretty cool picture!

Mark's breakfast while out with some friends one morning.
It's eggs, cooked a bit runny, yogurt, olive oil, and parsley.
What a way to start the day!

One of our favorite scenes in July each year - a field of sunflowers.
FYI - here they're actually called moon flowers.

Nathan's officially a climber! One of his favorite past times is backing up / climbing up to sit on top of boxes (or anything else higher than the floor).
