The Olympics

I have to say that I am completely mesmerized by the Olympics. Michael Phelps is a wonder, but so are many other athletes who fail to get the recognition that he does. As of this afternoon the US has 29 medals!!!! That is AMAZING!!! And more than any other country, including China. They're not all gold...China seems to have that market cornered...but medals nonetheless. I am fiercely proud to be an American. I think that, though this country certainly has problems, it is by far the best there is. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful life that I have and all the freedoms that come with it. But as I watch our athletes compete against the best in the world, my heart can't help but swell even more with pride. I am glued to the TV every chance I get, and I'm staying up WAY TOO LATE at night to watch!
So now I'll simply share with you a couple of picture that I think are cute. No special occasion, just pure and total cuteness!


A lizard at Grandpa Bob and Grandma Elizabeth's house.

It's got wheels...the boy doesn't need anything else!

I need to take more time out of my day and watch them... I did last night! But that's not enough for me. Today is another day..and a very special one! Happy Birthday my friend! :)

So cute pics!! Thank you for sharing. Seeing these makes me think I should probably make the investment in true crocks for my kids...they are just so stinkin' cute!
