I Heart Faces

by

We’re back home and back in the swing of things which means I can start playing with photography again. Yay! This week the themes at I Heart Faces are “Sports in Action” and “Pets.” The great thing about working at a school and being married to a coach is that I had LOTS of sports photos to choose from. Not having any pets, however, meant searching for a pet photo. Here’s what I came up with.

This picture is from Elementary Field Day a couple of years ago. I love how intense the girls’ faces are. They are going to win this tug-of-war!

This is Snuggles. She’s my parents dachshund, and she is awesome.

The (S)unshine State

by

pool_rainrainThis was the weather in Florida pretty much the entire time we were there. Bizarre weather for Florida this time of year. However, it did clear up enough for us to get some quality beach time Tuesday evening before we left.

We did get away to Philadelphia for 4th of July weekend where it was always sunny and surprisingly not too hot. Perfect weather for taking in a baseball game.

We really enjoyed our time in Florida and Philly, catching up with family and friends. I’m sorry we couldn’t see everyone we wanted to, but hopefully we will be there longer the next time we’re stateside. We both decided that spending 3.5 weeks between three places (CA, FL, and Philly) isn’t quite enough time to do everything we’d like to do.

Please pray for us as Tricia and I recoup before new and old staff start trickling in and the school year gets underway.

California Dreamin’

We’ve been in California for almost two weeks which means that our time here is almost over. 🙁

On June 20, my brother Derrick married his sweetheart Desire’e. It was a fantastic day, and we’re so glad that we got to be here for it!

We made a quick trip to Santa Barbara last week to visit with friends. I got to show Matt Westmont for the first time, but it wasn’t very impressive because the whole place is under construction. I’ll just have to take him back up there next time. 🙂 I’m super thankful that we had some time to spend with my friends up there. I love them a lot!

The rest of our California time is being spent in Idyllwild with my family. It’s so good to be home and visit for awhile. The only hard part of living in Vienna is missing my family. I’m so thankful for this time with them.

Thanks for all of your prayers as we travel. We’re off to Florida on Monday. Klein family – here we come!

Matt’s Birthday

by

This year we kept it low-key. Matt came home from the hospital two days before his birthday, so we decided to just have a few friends over to eat pizza and play games on the Wii. It was a fun night! Just right for a man on painkillers.
