Either it's that or the fact that I have 18 million hours of work to do... and we know how blogging suddenly takes precidence when there is real work to be done.

Have you stopped to take a look? Sometimes I really can't help but revel in the gorgeousness of this Earth. And it's not just because it's my job to shape young minds into appreciating the natural phenomenon around us. It really is amazing.

Can you hear the laughter?) and start documenting life again.

I just realized the irony of this photograph. The height difference between the girls is roughly comparable to the height difference of their parents. Hmmm...
