Day 5: Vancouver BC

photocredit

Well, it seems that after our busy Saturday, we didn't take any other pictures, so you'll just have to do with the scenic ones from the internet coming up. Here is a view of Mt. Baker, a picture taken in Abbotsford. That's a small town/city/township? in the lower mainland where we stayed with some friends on Sunday. We went to their church The Bridge (can't find a link) in the morning, which met outside in a walnut orchard before having a small bbq with friends.
Unfortunately, that day was quite gloomy and even rained on us a bit both outside for the service and for lunch. The rain, though, was barely spit, and although it made it wet & cold, it wasn't as if we were standing in water or shivering, I just wished I had an extra coat.
It also pushed our bbq to inside, but the food was delicious. This whole trip, other than a few meals, were all supplied by friends or family which was so great, since I hate eating out for every meal while on vacation. Not only is that expensive, but it also doesn't make you feel good, either.
We were so thankful we had so many wonderful home made meals offered to us!
This day was also very relaxing, as we just sat around with a few friends and talked for hours. Toward the late evening, we packed up everything back into the truck and headed back to L & D's house for the rest of our duration in British Columbia.

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...

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.
