Thursday last week, we went on a morning hike to Abram's Falls:

and yes, that last picture is a bear cub! alex saw mama bear on the embankment on the other side of the trail, so we kept moving :)

today, i start working at starbucks! i'm excited and nervous. more excited, though. and we need the money, that's for sure. we've been keeping a very carefully balanced (and teetering) budget, with neither of us working regular jobs. but the lord has been faithful in making ends meet and we are learning more than ever the importance of being diligent in keeping a strict budget.

well, i must be off to get ready for work! tomorrow, i hope to post a recipe for a variation of puppy chow i like to call "kitten chow", but we'll see!
