This post will have no photos- I’m sorry. I just re- read something that is so true. I want to share it here:
"We condition our minds to value whatever we watch and study and contemplate most. John Piper has taught me to think of it like this: we become what we behold. What absorbs our interest, what we give our attention to most, shapes our thinking and trains our affections.
We must resist the seductive lie that someday in the future we will give up our workaholic habits or our sinful addiction or our trivial time-consuming pursuits and enjoy God and His Creation and His purposes like we should. The truth is that if we spend too much time focusing on lesser things, someday we will wake up to find that we have lost our ability to find great things delightful or even interesting."

Hopefully everyone is safe from the fires. So far we haven’t been evacuated- though many of our friends have. Gathering our belongs in case of evacuation is eye-opening. It makes you think about what really is important and what’s just "stuff".
By the way- I felt the baby kicking today (and last night) That made me very happy.
