Words of Sunshine

Words of Sunshine on a cold and cloudy spring day:

"I love Joel, moe;

he is like the best baby in the whole wide world!"

by Hendrik

Another time, another season....

It's been a l-o-n-g time since I was last here, posting about our ordinary life, with never a dull moment! I have finally excepted that life is BUSY. I have also learned to look at life as 'seasons'. There is a time for blogging, and there is a time to have a break from blogging.

Sometime life just gets in the way of doing certain things.

Since the last time I posted, this happy, friendly boy has been entrusted into our family! He truly is a rich boy with so many hearts to love and hands to play with him! He is almost 6 months old.

We recently went to the Sugar Bush to learn more about tapping trees and making Maple Syrup. Because there was such a large group of children, we were all divided into (age appropriote) groups. This anabled me to get down at the level of our four and two year old and I realized that I do not do that very often. When we teach, we tend to gear toward to other children. It was good to realize this. Yesterday, after dropping our boys off at the markets to help sell vegetables for a dear family we know, I took Rein and Gesina to the Butterfly Conservatory. We had SUCH a good time, but I'll share that in another post. =)

Joel riding along with his dad, occupying the best available spot!

Young Beech trees, hanging on to their precious leaves through the winters...its beautiful to see how the sun shines through them, dotting the seemingly dead forest with little lights of yellow.

the only green we saw. We have had a wet spring, but slowly the greens are coming back.

That's all for now, I hope to be back soon!

with love, Boukje~ a busy mom with alot of things to be thankful for!
