It's been a little different around here

Daddy has been home on some vacation lately. It has been vary nice. It feels like a very long weekend. He has joined us on a homeschool hike, ice skating, and every morning is late and relaxed feeling, and with the cold weather we have curled up together watching movies or reading most nights (thus no blogging). Anyway here are some pictures of recent.
Our hike was of Whatcom Falls. With all that recent rain, the falls were full and raging. Apparently trail paths are optional. Everett has a tendency to go off roading with or without wheels.
This beauty Everett saw first "Look mom, just like when Jesus was born". Gotta love that
Here we are having some girl time. Aunt Stefanie is a mom's dream. A hair stylist who comes to your house, cuts your hair and your kids, then stays to hang out! Gotta love that too.

Here are the boys way after bedtime. I was in the process of escorting Everett to bed when he saw Ian on the computer. Ian said he could join him "Oops did I just mess things up for you"? "Nope, your time together trumps all. Enjoy!" They sat together watching how skateboard are made for a while.

(*So I started his post Wednesday morning. It is now Wednesday early evening. Ian has accepted a three week job in Wenachee. The kids and I are going to join him as much as we can. It will be a little vacation where daddy works a little.) Thank you Lord for meeting all our needs!!
