Our Kids Working    I love that our kids help around the house.  After all, they make a large part of this mess, so they might as well help clean it up too.  Even Ethan has begun working with us.  It's unifying. Tonight, Matthew cleared everyone's dishes, emptied them in the trash, and then, washed them and loaded the dishwasher, without being asked.  Yes, I am feeling grateful tonight!

 The giant Radio Flyer slide and monkey bar equipment, made out of cement, in the downtown Spokane park.  The boys loved playing on this.

 Feeding the ducks was a favorite.

 How I find Ethan's cars each day.

 The beautiful and dangerously high river by my parents' home.
