From Whalley to Whistler

Last week we went on a very wet nature walk to observe moss and stomp in some puddles. We love going for walks together, even when it is raining heavily - sometimes the walks in heavy rain are the ones we love the most.




I'm really happy with how nature journaling is going this year. I am keeping a journal along with the kids this year and this seems to be making an impact on them.


The "figure" skating lessons that I signed the girls up for are not quite going how I had envisioned ;)


Last weekend Spencer and I went up to Whistler for the Village Church marriage retreat. We had an amazing time listening to great teaching on marriage and we also just loved spending the weekend together. An added bonus was taking a shower 2 days in a row.



And running together is always something we love to do. Running in Whistler was beautiful.



On Monday it was Ella's turn for a date with Dadda. She loved seeing all the Christmas lights in downtown Surrey.



Grandma Jo-Ann watched these 4 while Spencer and I went away. We are so thankful for my mom. And Silas spent the weekend with our friends Jordan and Jessica. We are grateful for fabulous friends. Our kids were well loved over the weekend.


The game Sorry is an absolute hit around here these days. The girls would play all day if we let them. Grandma was the gracious participant in numerous games of Sorry while she visited us.


Karis has upped her Lego game and is making some beautiful princess houses. 


And we have some sickness going through our house this week. I am thankful for my 3 girls who are helping me care for their sick little brothers.
