taking stock

The summer has flown by like I knew it would. I wondered if I would be sad at it's passing, but I am not. It's been a nearly perfect blend of work and play - so much so that I am looking forward to Thursday and the arrival of the new freshmen at Wash U. What a gift to know that God is already at work in this class of students and that we get to go on a treasure hunt to discover what He has been up to!

Here are some photos from my recent vacation in Washinton D.C. My mom and her company made it all possible. Thanks, Mom!
