Today there was a  steroid craving in the form of a T-bone for breakfast, Michael nailing down a Principal’s List award (straight As for the year) and Nicky enjoying his fifth grade pool party, hosted at our home.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:5-7
