Glimpses of Summer

Here is a photo dump of some of our sunny moments. This summer is amazing, and sometimes scorching. I am not posting any pictures of my children arguing or crying or being ANNOYING, because pictures like that might lower your opinion of me. These pictures are hand-picked. ;-)

 Mt. Rainier

 My girl

 He looks just like his dad when he is mischievous.

 This boy melts me

 The roll above the elbow is my favourite

 

He is just fun

Transfirguation (post script)

In the Transfiguration the disciples were seeing the glory which was Christ's from all eternity but had, up to that point, been veiled from their eyes. Today I realized that I was experiencing an actual veil-lifting.

Seattle is surrounded by mountains and the most breathtaking of them all is Mt. Rainier. It stands alone: a snow-topped volcano southeast of Seattle, 14,411 ft in elevation, dangerous and dazzling.

Because Seattle is rainy and cloudy much of the year (stop feigning surprise), I sometimes forget about Mt. Rainier. I don't see it, so I forget that it's there. But then on a day like today, clear, brilliant and summer-splendid, I see Mt. Rainier and am stirred with awe. The veil of clouds lifts, and my eyes see what has been there all along.
