Photos of the Week: August 16

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” – Booker T. Washington

We are back from vacation! My kids let me pick them up for a picture on the Whidbey Island ferry. It mirrors a picture we did three and a half years ago — but I think this might be the last year I can pick them both up at once.

Then we were happy to be back home to see Cooper!

And Simone, the cat — and be in a neighborhood where interesting characters that watch us out their windows.

The kids did a sailing camp this week which was good for beating the heat — including taking dips in Puget Sound and running through sprinklers at home.

Sign of the week — and Cooper being his most intense!

  5. This week’s photos certainly are uplifting. I saw the photo of you holding your kids and I wondered, then I read the caption! At some point being able to lift up our kids and lifting up our kids changes from being that we are able to do it physically to being able to do it metaphorically. I love the photo of the kids running through the sprinkler and the rainbow; it’s priceless – it’s a framable photo. And a dad joke for the sign? Thanks Wynne have a wonderful weekend.

  20. Simone the Cat is planning world domination with that sinister stare, Wynne! 😂

    I love the photo of you three on the ferry. In a few years, it’ll be a photo of them two holding you up. I can’t wait for that one!

    Love the rainbow appearing in the sprinkler, a heavenly wink in your day. 💕🌈

    1. Oh yes – great idea to have them lift me up. Looking forward to that one, Ab! And you’re right about the cat – she’s always planning something. 🙂 You have such a good eye for our photos – a heavenly wink. I love it!

  21. I love the quote and the photo of you picking up your kids, Wynne! This post would lift anyone up! I also love to see Cooper and Simone, and your kids in the rainbow. And the camping quote is great. Camping and backpacking have been a big part of our life together. Thanks for sharing so much joy! 🥰

      1. You should hold a fun blog contest. Choose which day Wynne’s kids will be able to pick her up without assistance; closest one to the actual date wins. Kind of like guessing the number of pennies in a jar!

  27. I saw the photo of you holding both kids, and I was thinking they’re going to be too big for that very soon! it will have to be them sitting on your lap! 😉
