Photos of the Week: July 11

“A house is made with walls and beams. A home is built with love and dreams.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Flying home from Europe – first the mountains of Greenland and finally the beautiful sight of Mt. Rainier and then we knew we were home!

Jet lag and picking up the cat from Whisker’s Lodge

Glad to all be back together again – Cooper didn’t even need to steal the flashlight to get attention.

Getting our sparkler on!

The sign of the week and freedom in motion.

  1. Welcome home, family! I love the smiles and sparklers and I had wondered where Cooper and Simone were at. They just look so happy to be back home. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

    1. It’s so funny to do a big trip at the beginning of the summer — and then get to enjoy the rest. Perhaps you all are feeling the same? Nice to be home though, right?!

      1. Yes, it’s nice to still have plenty of summer left after a getaway. 😊 Due to how Labour Day fell this summer, it appears the kids get 1 extra week off too!

  2. I knew about “The Cat in the Hat,” but not in a box! Your family doesn’t look worse for the wear, Wynne. I imagine the smiles tell the tale. As for the sign, Camus is an interesting author, not one who appears on church signs very often. I am glad he has finally had his day there.

    1. Oh, you are so spot on, Cristiana! Rusty went to our neighbor’s house and we didn’t move him back until later this week. But he’s back now too!

  3. Welcome home Wynne, we just returned too, and I’m finding it hard to reestablish my rhythm! It’s going to take some time to catch up on everyone’s lives. The sparklers, the sign, picking up the cat. I’ve missed you. Hugs, C

  4. Welcome home! My biggest regret about my trip to the PNW in April? Choosing an aisle seat over a window seat. I realized the error of my ways as we were taking off from PDX just as the sun was rising, bathing the Cascade peaks in a beautiful orange light. Lesson learned: nothing but windows from now on!

  5. Wynne, certainly a wonderful trip but yeah, no place like home. I’m sure Rusty is happy for your return as well. Love the sign quote here…and love the chance to (always) do better. Welcome back!
