Cascades

 

While in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania, we went back to the Cascades where my phone began it's journey to the Mississippi last year. This time, I managed to keep my phone in my possession.

Ready to boil

 

We filled up the back of a pick-up truck with buckets of sap, ready to be boiled down to maple syrup.

Sometimes emotions are like this path--a mush of snow, mud, water, decaying leaves and strangers' footprints.

Snowy Sunday

 

On our way home from Pennsylvania, we took a slight detour to go to church with our aunt on a snowy Sunday morning in Ohio.

Waffles

 

One of the perks of being an aunt is that you can serve waffles covered in Nutella and strawberries, with sausage and chocolate milk on the side, for dinner.

Aunt time

 

Libby and I spent the week out in Pennsylvania with our nieces and nephew while their parents were out of town. 

Jirah is trying out the toy Aunt Betsy sent for her.
