Shooting for the Moon

Shooting for the moon proved successful!

The moon looked absolutely brilliant last night.

I couldn't resist grabbing my camera, attaching my telephoto lens, and zooming in for a closer look.

It's amazing how something we see so often can suddenly stop us in our tracks.

The craters.

The shadows.

The texture.

All those tiny details that can't really be appreciated with the naked eye.

There's something so magnificent and mysterious about the moon.

So far away...

Yet through the lens of my camera, somehow a little closer.

I love it!

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
