School Passport







Our school passports are ready and we "leave" for Brazil this week.

We are joining another HS mom with her 2 little ones to take a trip around the world.

I always find this time of year really hard homeschooling, we always feel blah so this will be a fun way to add in some fun learning.

These passports were fun to make - I had to laugh at their passport photo's we took, for some reason they all look like they are holding their breath.

Saturday Morning Fun




Roads made of tape will keep busy toddlers having fun for hours.

We woke up this morning to the snow falling and it didn't stop all day.
It was beautiful outside. The children worked hard at their school work so they could get out there and play.
They have really been enjoying each other it's been really good to watch a see. I praise God for their close relationships, Chris and I prayed that they would be close like that.
This afternoon we made a batch of cookies for the Focus Club at TRU it's a Christian group for international students. When I saw the email come in I showed Zachary right away he was eager to serve in this way. He really loves to bake, and was really inspired by the Cake Boss from TLC.
( Yesterday we measured the snow fall every hour.)
Chris has been busy doing a weekend course for the past 2 weekends. He is learning alot and coming home excited to share with me. We miss each other like crazy but it's been well worth the time to learn and study God's Word. More importantly how to live out the Word and apply it to our lives and teach it to our children. It's been really exciting for us and really drawing us together in a much more deeper way.
My dad has been coming up a couple times a week and has helped us get started on our house reno's. We are starting with the laundry room, considering how much laundry I do I really want it to be a pretty place. He's been coming while Chris is gone which helps make my day feel a little shorter.

Complaining

"If complaining is the reason God's people were denied the privilege of entering the Promised Land, shouldn't I quit it?"

Num 11:6, 1 Cor 10:5


In the words of Voddie " If you can't say Amen you gotta ouch"

Hannah is One

One year ago today... I'm doing the exact same thing. Laying in bed with Hannah snuggled up to me. Today she is one! That flew! I think all mothers must say that though.

Today she has a nasty cold, we had a nice little party planned and I ended up canceling. Probably good as the snow started to fall around 4pm and who wants to drive up the moutain in the dark in snow? Not me!

As the day wore on I started to lose energy more and more I took Hannah to bed at 6:30 and nursed her to sleep and stayed put myself.


She's is such a blessing another thing I'm sure all mothers feel but I feel it the most :P




So tonight as I listen to her soft breaths I re-play the year like a movie in my head. I kiss her warm feverish head whisper I love you and Happy Birthday Princess.
