cutting and pasting

little sister is in love with our glue-stick.

she sobs when i take it away,

and never gets out of her chair while it's in her hand.

her focus makes the sticky tablecloth worthwhile!

big sister is in love with cutting.

her latest challenge is to follow a particular line,

and she too will happily snip away for ages.

she's almost ready to graduate to some sharper blades!

and i am in love with the rainy weather!

at the pub

last night, we dined at the pub

in celebration of our seventh wedding anniversary.

we were blessed with a thoroughly relaxing time,

sitting in the beer garden, 

watching the sky become more ominous,

but managing to escape the rain. 

it was a special time as a family of four -

i wonder how many more of these there will be,

before four become five?

 

the light of the world

ah, little blog.

thank you for your patience 

while i've been preoccupied with other things

(and waiting for our internet to be connected!)

 i may soon go back and fill in the gap

between mid-december and now,

but today - here is a little peek at our first lenten activity:

contemplating Jesus as the light of the world.
