Getting caught up...



Sorry about the long delay between posts. I'm not sure what's been keeping me. I have a ton of photos to share, I just haven't got time to sit down and write I guess. So here's a smathering of photos from various summer activities in the last couple months.

Starting with the ferry ride to Bainbridge for coffee. My parents came for a visit a few weeks ago and we went to pegasus coffee on bainbridge island for the evening. It's a beautiful ferry ride as you watch the sunset, leaving the city, and you return to the lit up seattle skyline.







Here are some photos of Grandpa I took while we were in Salmon Arm this summer. Dad and I fed him his lunch out on the patio. It was kind of interesting to sit there and take turns spoon feeding Grandpa with my Dad. It wasn't that long ago that Dad was spoon feeding me.



And before that, Grandpa was spoon feeding Dad.



And one day I may be spoon feeding Dad. But for this particular place in the Lepp men legacy, my Dad and I sat together and took turns spoon feeding Grandpa. He was hungry.

I picked up the guitar again recently if you can't tell by the furrowed brow. Ruth decided to capture me reading chords off the laptop the other night.



Technology moves so fast.
If you would've told me 10 years ago that instead of pausing mid song to the turn the page, I'd instead be pausing to scroll down, I wouldn't have had any idea what that meant.

We also spent a bit of time up at the ranch to see Nathan and Erin this summer. That place is so relaxing. It really is the perfect place to slow down a little...



..and then speed up the shutter!



Pretty little birds. 1/4000th of a second. That's how fast the shutter has to snap to catch their wings without a blur.





Hard to believe summer's over. We skipped fall all together this year. It started raining last week and hasn't really stopped. It's cold and miserable in Seattle. It makes these pictures seem much older. Ah well. Back to work.

I was wondering when the hummingbird would make its appearance on your blog! Pretty pictures to you both (per usual!)

Great pictures! I especially like the one of the door. And it's humbling to think that my children may someday feed me and care for me as I do them.

Hope to see you feeding my "grandon" with a spoon, before you stick that spoon in my mouth!! Shank, the dog, looks like he's ready to 'call it a day', like I sometimes feel. ...Dad

What can I say that hasn't already been said in the comments...another great post. Yes, generations come and go very quickly. We have been struck by that more as we've grown older and started to see the signs of aging in ourselves. It's funny to realize we are beginning to have an older person's perspective of life. You don't know what that means now of course, but you will in time! :)
