A Year In Photos...

Started off the year with lots of walks outside in the freezing weather, and plenty of goals.
The kids began their winter art projects (or 'what's in the art box').
In February, apparently there was no snow and the kids were able to dig in sand, albeit frozen.
We also celebrated Anikka's 2nd birthday with a little family party.
March saw plenty of cousin time...
and the beginning of Float for Life lessons for Ani.
Easter was celebrated in April with easter egg hunts at the grandparents' houses...
and our first try with square foot gardening.
In May the kids often were brought along to the farmer's markets to sample the wares...
and in June, we celebrated Father's Day (without, apparently, a photo of their father!) with a backyard bbq.
In July there was plenty of trips to the zoo,
Ani's first time seeing fireworks,
Lukka's chance to stay up later than everyone else (kids) to *play* with fireworks,
both children's first experience with VBS (and mama some free time!),
and of course a trip that didn't start out so well...
but ended well.
In August we got the kids to the county fair as usual to see the animals,
and welcomed a new cousin to the brood.
October was all about outside with an all-church gathering,
and a carmel apple!
...and we're ending with October and a fall snack, because I barely took out my camera for November and December, and I think y'all should be tired of my December Photos!

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.
