Life in the S L O W lane? yes please...

Well I wrote this post below this past Monday and have only been able to post it with pictures today, Saturday morning - i guess its symbolic of our lives at this point! However I might be able to do some cost-co size posting today, we'll see...

Yesterday, after only being back in az for less than a week, i realized how fast life was passing by. So in an attempt to slow my life down a tad (and recover some sleep) i just laid in bed and listened to music for awhile. I was just there in my thoughts for a couple of hours thinking about our past summer and future months. It feels like we are constantly in the HOV lane and have been given a pass to go 20 mph over the speed limit. So i've been wanting to dig my heels in to attempt a slow down. Not sure that it will work for quite some time, but its always worth a shot...

So seeing that my last post was about the squirrel man here is my final update on him -- i saw him a total of three times during my duration in MN. Twice he was with squirrel in tow (one alive, one dead - perhaps the same squirrel? but doubtful). I'm excited to try and observe him when we are back in october but we'll see if i'm THAT lucky.

Here are some of my pic's from the lovely trip:

Squirrel man maybe you can see if you click and zoom - not sure.
