What have we been up to for the past 6 months?
I still spend my days with this little bundle of joy while the rest of
the gang participates in public education. .
We do laundry, empty dishwashers and he
pontificates with me as to the best veggies to buy at the local market. . .
Clara continues to loose a tooth what feels like every week. . .
We had Magna Glosli (remember her??)
come back for an encore performance for
Emily's birthday to do face painting . . .
If they wiggle their noses the doggy dances and the dinosaur growls!
Jordan played basketball this year (grade 8) in high school,
he grew 5 inches,
he made the Spring League team at Pitt Meadows,
then made the zone development team for the Pitt/Ridge/Poco/Coq/Mission team
They won the finals and he was selected to play for the provincial team!!!
(Even when he told them he wouldn't play on Sunday!!!)
He stands at 6"1 third kid from the right if you are having troubles
finding him because you thought he looked like this,
he doesn't . . . I know, I keep thinking this little boy will come around the corner.
But I can't find him anywhere. . .
We went to the Oregon Coast for spring break, we started at Gold, beach. . .
Then we dipped into California to see the biggest trees on the earth
(at the Redwood Forest)
Then we met Violet and her beautiful family to play
a few stones from the Rogue River in Medford Oregon
in a big house on 15 acres with 1001 things to do. . .
I turned 40 and was spoiled by my hubby, family and friends. . .
with the garden of my dreams
from this 
to this
to this. . 
to this . . .
to this
to this. . 
to this . . .
and weekend getaway with Craig and many more wonderful surprises!
Finally. . . this past weekend I took my gals up to see my buddy
Colleen and her Emma who was getting baptized!
I missed about 683 other little things but these are the highlights. . .
A Little Lesson:
I spend most of my time driving & cheering (my oldest), sowing and harvesting, (with my youngest) refereeing and mediating (my middle girls) and enjoying having a husband around more than I ever have, and a few projects here and there that help keep the water level just below my chin. It's full. Really really full.
One day it wont be so full, and I will long for fullness . . .so I've been told.
