We made this delicious recipe from Half Baked Harvest and loved it. The cookies are large so only a couple is enough to be satisfied. The first time we made these, we had to run to the store to get the right kind of oats but it was worth it....
Stopped by REI this week and was reminded that for anything you can buy for your home, you can buy a version smaller/lighter/more expensive for camping. Dishes, clothes, furniture, tools; there’s gear for it all!
The San Diego robin irruption is real. Our backyard has recently been filled with American Robins. I’ve counted at least 50 in our immediate yard and probably over 100 in the neighborhood. It’s a phenomenon that’s been seen all across San Diego County. The birds which are rarely seen this...
Congrats to my brother on scoring 1000 points for his high school basketball team. Quite the achievement! 🏀
I would just like to wish everyone a #SuperbOwl day. Whooo needs Eagles when you have owls?
Been thinking about potential new places to travel to this year and beyond. There are so many amazing options. Hawaii Alaska Glacier National Park Yosemite National Park Oaxaca Mexico Iceland Argentina/Patagonia New Zealand Netherlands South Africa Scotland

Always nice when you can see the sun setting behind Catalina Island (visible to the right). I’m glad we could end the weekend this way.
Typically I do a year-in-review of my birding, but I fell behind posting 2021. Before I share about my birding in 2022, I wanted to give a quick update to fill in the gap. Despite the continuing pandemic and being busy with a new house and foster care, I still...
Felt like posting a photo today. This was a fun one from the San Diego Safari Park. It’s a Great Blue Turaco.
Found out today that a elderly woman we know from Liberia passed away. She spent most of her life caring for children in Nimba county, many of whom lost family in the country’s civil war. Her godly spirit had a profound impact on my wife and me despite being a...
