Our Daily Ritual

Ever since we've moved to our "New House"(!) as Lukka calls it, we saddle up Lukka on Arjax, put Ani in the backpack and go to a great little park that is about a 3 block walk. There is enough space to let the dogs run around like crazy to get their energy out, and it's in the best part of town for fall foliage.
A little glimpse of Lukka riding Arjax & Dad with Ani.
Happy Baby. This little lady loves being outside.
Lukka has found a hula hoop and loves to race after it after dad rolls it really far away. So much so that I think we will buy him one for Christmas if someone actually claims this one.
Our mighty dogs love, no need to run like this every day to stay happy. If you can't tell, that powerdog is Atreyu, and we're pretty sure she was mixed with a Greyhound. She is the fastest dog we've ever seen (not a joke!). It is so fun to just watch them run as fast as they can!

What do you love to do over and over?

As a dog, Gus' whole day is a ritual, but for us, it is more weekly. Every Sunday we have a big breakfast. And I mean BIG. So big that you can miss lunch and not notice. I love it! : )

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

{This Moment}

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
