To prepare for the best job in the world as caretaker on Hamilton Island, Queensland, Australia, the other day the redheaded boy and I scoured the internet for videos, games, and informational sites about the Great Barrier Reef and sea creatures in general.

    Well, I think you are clearly the most qualified and most-prepared individual for the job.

    Well, yes, we’ve always known you were the most qualified and most prepared person for the job… now we have confirmation that you are the coolest mom, too.

    I love how you involve the boy in all your endeavors. :-)

    P.S. I figured out the photo thing! Doh! I kept missing one little button at the bottom that says to put the photo in the post.

    yay!
