scenes of the summer

 Here's me and the neph hanging out in his backyard.
Doug and I paddling around in the arboretum.  You'll have to imagine Doug... but I swear he was there too.
Oliver giving a kissy face for the camera.  He's been working on becoming calm and submissive.  Doesn't he look like he's lovin it?!?!
Catching a sunset over Lake Union - aka "where it all went down this morning" according to the champion rower pictured next to me.
ZENO, the wonderdog.  A crochet pup I made for my new friend Parker.
Here's a few images from the summer.  This is what I've been up to - that is, aside from being a resident chaplain in a hospital, which was pretty much the rest of the time.  Events not pictured here:  getting engaged, a visit with Doug's family in Idaho, a visit with my parents in Seattle, hours and hours of writing and reflection for CPE, the beginnings of wedding planning, a rainy 4th of July trip to Bellingham....
