Further Adventures

On a sunny day, the girls pulled out the yard waste bags and used them to have potato sack races. I had no idea how fun a yard waste bag could be.

If you squint your eyes really hard to un-blur this picture, it is adorable.

Our nature group went to Terra Nova park last Friday. The girls loved the zipline!

And so did Silas and I :)

The kids were also fascinated to see where the Fraser River flows into the Pacific Ocean.

We saw a large flock of snow geese. This was a first for us.

Then on Saturday we went to Green Timbers park.

This smiley little man is going to be 1 in less than 2 weeks.

This morning we woke up to snow! 

"Look baby, it is snowing."

The girls and I are loving our new watercolor paints. They are getting really good at mixing the colors and painting beautiful pictures. Another bonus is that they can set up and clean up all on their own. This way I can play with the little boys while they paint. I have them write about and paint something most days. It needs to be something that we learned about that day (our memory verse, part of our hymn, one of our readings, something from a nature walk...) I am keeping all of their paintings in a binder as a memory from our year.

"Baby, so much snow. The ground is white."

Silas continues to love watching his siblings play in the backyard. 

Not a great picture, but we had a Valentine's date in our living room a couple of weeks ago. A fire, dessert, and starbucks tea - and most importantly, my favorite person. I am blessed.

Silas loves to get up early and eat cheerios in his highchair while Spencer and I read our Bibles.

Elton John?
