Finger pain

In the competition for most painful finger among the cousins, Jordan took home a silver medal this week with a solid performance in the bathroom door (thankfully failing to leave any of it there).  It was certainly a painful event at the time, but it's also gaining him brownie points among his friends as he shows off the black, blue and green results.

Lazy Sunday

It's a lazy, sit-on-a-rocker-on-the-lawn-and-feed-the-horses-too-many-carrots kind of Sunday in Virginia today.

Life lessons

We're hiking at Sky Meadow, and Jordan and Grant are in charge of Annie. A minute ago a group of college-age girls walked by and oohed and aahed over Annie (about the 10th group to do so). As they passed us, we heard one say "I think we just taught those boys an important life lesson. If you bring a dog, the girls will follow you!"

Question from Jordan for his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or the blogosphere at large

Since a friend of Jordan's is running a marathon today, Jordan would like to know if anyone knows how far the Israelites had to walk around Jericho? Enter your responses as a comment, and the distance with the most votes will be considered historical and Biblical truth!
