{Thank You- in advance}
I want to adopt this example setting pattern in my life and send out more hand written greetings. Especially for my children to follow. I'm really not much of an emailer - probably for the fact I'm in two minds and really want to say it with pen and paper and never really get round to it, but I also see the convenience of email.
I'm listening to Eden & James in the other room. Watching MULAN - a new family favourite and the most the watched is four times in one day before I sent them out for fresh air (with sticks in hand to practise). Eden is soo patience with James as he asks her a hundred q's through the film. Like "Why is she sad?", or "who's that man?" I am suprised for two reasons. One: I'm sure that James already knows the answers - he has watched it about 20 times and Two: Eden's ability to understand the film and the messages in it. She is so proud that Mulan is a Hero and wants to be like her too.
Don't worry photos to come....

{Days of Winter: No. 4}
I wonder what children really feel about being dragged here and there. Always hearing "Time to go" in the middle of great play. I guess I also recall the look of relief when they are utterly exhausted and ready to sleep in the car for the drive home. I loved going for drives over the shore to my grandparents - it alwasy seemed so long or never long enough (about min drive). I especially loved falling asleep on the way home so my parents could carry us inside to bed (sometimes I prentended to sleep because I was too tired to walk inside ).

{Days of Winter: No.2}
Eden and James decided it would be craft day for them too. So out came the beads and flowers.
Then they progressed onto the kitchen table to help out (or create more paper cutouts for the fire).
So on this winter day we had great company and great fun cutting and stapling - the kids are staple-a-holics, everything gets stapled and yes, James has tried it on other people and body parts!

So we showed Isaac the picture too. What do you think his reaction was?
He thought he was looking in the mirror!!! He started laughing as soon as he saw it.
notice Eden trying to get into the photo's. She was upset that Isaac was the model this time.

{EDENS SANDWHICH}
Monday lunchtime Eden taught Nigel and I how to make a real sandwhich (we looked on wondering why we didn't think to make our bread go further)
and then how to eat it

{A GOOD PLACE}
I am in a good place, mentally and physically (who wouldn't be with the sun on their back). I thought, it's been a while since I took a photo of myself - so here it is. Twenty Seven years old, Three children and One wonderful best friend who also happens to be my husband.
I am reminded of a scrapbooking article that I came across. In essence it told me to take more photos of myself, not worrying about how I look and what I'm wearing. Looking back at her childhood photos with her mother, the author writes that she loves the way her mother is smiling and interacting with them. This is more important than her clothes or hair. So I want to be the same, when my children inherit their scrapbooks and albums, they would see a mother who was happy to be her and to be with them.
