We headed to the park on Thursday for our first summer park day with our CC campus, and of course it was the hottest day of the week, breaking 90 degrees. But our favorite part of this particular park is actually not the playground itself but a large cluster of trees where the girls like to build forts, forage and hang out, and it was much cooler in there, so they were happy!
This weekend, we’re mostly counting down the days until our ultrasound on Tuesday, since we’re all so anxious to find out whether Baby Ehman is a boy or a girl!

This didn’t fit in any of this week’s categories, but in the face of growing controversy around international adoption ethics, Jen Hatmaker wrote a series of posts, and this one — about orphan care outside of adoption — is so, so important!
Have a great weekend!
