I know that I've been somewhat sporadic here at Chookooloonks over the last two weeks, but while all seems quiet on the site, I promise that I'm actually working like a madwoman, finalizing everything that I promised to get done for the kids I traveled with to Costa Rica. In fact, I feel sort of like a duck: you know how when you see a duck on a still pond, she seems all calm, but under the water, she's paddling furiously away with her little duck feet?

That.

Anyway, this last week has been all about processing photos for the two churches I traveled with, and putting together a PDF of each day's images and summaries for the kids and their families. I should be done with everything today, and then I can start focusing on other stuff again: like getting everything done for the LimeLight Sessions (will you be joining me in October? There are only 2 spaces left, and I'm thinking of shutting it all down at the end of July regardless, so if you'd like to come, I'd love to have you!), and going back to regularly scheduled programming here on Chookooloonks. It will be good to get back to routine.

Speaking of which: somehow, with everything going on, it seems we're officially in the summer season here in the Northern Hemisphere -- it sort of crept up on me, and to be honest, we don't have many summer plans in our household. How about you -- are you guys doing anything fun during these summer months? Tell me. Make me jealous.

Anyway, all this to say that I'll be back in full force after today. I missed you guys. Looking forward to reconnecting.
