Gone Camping
photo credit: phlubdr It was a great, busy week in the Mooney family. Hazel made it through strep throat, while Anders scratched his eye- as in scratched his eyeball. Everyone is now fine, and we’re inching back to a more normal quota of whining. I was able to share Eliot’s story with a Young Life college group on the U of A campus as well as road trip it over to Stillwater, OK to meet with some folks about starting their own rEcess.

Since Ginny left me for another blog, I’ve been working on retooling some things around here. Recently added a new about page.
