Thankful Tuesdays: Right now

Recently, I made a decision to turn down some design team work. As I pondered over whether to take the offer up, the thought flitted through my head: if only they were older, and I had more me time. There are times where I admit I half look forward to being able to have more time...

Junior J's 4th: His dinosaur day

Yesterday was Junior J's birthday. We didn't have a party this time round, since he isn't close to the other kids here that are around his age. Instead, we just tried to make his day a little extra special. Since he loved dinosaurs so much, I decided it would be a dino-filled day...

And now, he is four

You turned four today. Yes, four! The days are long but the years are certainly short, and with a blink of an eye, you have grown from this:To this: You've grown into this fellow that never fails to crack me up with your prattling, the one who tells me dozens of stories everyday,...

Wordless Wednesday: Funny face

When we take photographs and ask Junior J to "smile!", it always results in him turning and hiding his face from the camera. So we've resorted to asking him to give us a "funny face". Which he happily complies. At least that's better than not seeing his face at all! (And this was...

Weekend wanderings: Snow

Hello! How was your weekend? It's been snowing quite a bit this week, so we've been out most mornings playing and tramping along in this new white world around us. Just yesterday, we had some pretty heavy snowfall, and the boys had fun romping about after church. And Junior J got...

Weekend wanderings: Snowflakes

It was supposed to be a cold, sunny day, but it suddenly started snowing while we were getting ready for church. By the time we reached our church compound, it was white, white, everywhere (and yes, that's Junior J giving us his "funny grimace" which always appears when we ask him...

Saturday scrapping: Personalized notebooks

Hello! How has your week been? I've been busy sorting out our home-learning activities... but I'm just hopping by to share some personalized notebooks. These were made for a lovely couple that we got to know over here in Germany. They are extremely well to do, and I was cracking...

Wordless Wednesday: Bun in the oven

I went off to cook lunch for the boys, and came back to find something baking in their kitchen oven. (This boy loves getting into all manner of tight spaces!)PS: I am taking a break from "Thankful Tuesdays" this week, and am not sure if I'm going to continue with the linky. Do drop...
