Precious



There have been too many reminders this week of just how precious life is.  It makes me just want to snuggle up with my sweet little girls every chance I get and really spend time with them.  There will always be things that need to get done but they are only this age once and time truly does fly by. Who cares if we eat Trader Joes pre-made meals several nights in a row.  Who cares if we have piles of clean clothes upstairs or floors covered with crumbs.  Out of respect for those who have lost people they love this week, I am really going to work on this moving forward.  It puts things in perspective.

Fully agree! And living in extreme loss with my dear friend right now, helps me remember this daily. Love to you!

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
