Look What Showed Up On My Doorstep

I decided to let them in.



I don't know who was happier...them or us. Dinner was a happy, talking over each other as fast as we could delirium.

They brought home a lot of dirt:



And some beautiful pictures:

Mt. Rainier

Mt. Rainier with the cloud curtains drawn

above the Cascades

Braeden by the lake in the early morning

my handsome boy

This is maybe my favorite shot: Mt. Adams in the background with an exhausted scout fading fast in the foreground.

I'm glad they had this time together:

Adam with some nice bedhead...I mean tent-head

But I'm glad they're home.

I missed this kid:


I really did.



And I especially missed his darling father.
