Spring is near! Well, almost. Today it is only -24 (C)! I am planning on bringing the kids out to play this afternoon. It will be the first time since December I think. I really really miss being outside. Now that we moved I have been enjoying walking to church each Sunday and Wednesday but that's not quite the same as going outside and letting the kids run around and throw snow and make snow angels. It's so nice the sun has been starting to show around 9:30 or so and not going down until after 7! In just another month or so we will have the sun until after 9! The Lord sure is good. He knew the dark winter would be hard so he gives us the long summer days to look forward to :-)

I have been having a lot of fun learning how to take pictures and edit them myself. I thought I would share a couple of them here.



This was supposed to be an Easter photo but William insisted on wearing his football shirt and my Easterish props aren't very visible lol. Oh well.



William and his best friend, Jolena, wearing their parkas. I made William's and Jolena's mom made hers.

What a busy month!

A lot has happened since I last posted! On January 29th my parents flew in for a visit. That night we moved to a new home. My parents were able to be here for the move (which was just a coincidence) and help with watching the kids. The Lord sure is good to do that for us! My parents stayed for 2 weeks and just left on Monday. I am so thankful that they got to be here for as long as they were here. It was such a blessing and an encouragement. I can't wait until I see them again. Hopefully it will be me visiting them next time!

Here are a couple of pictures from my parents' visit:

Better get your pen and paper out if you want the recipe to caribou head soup. Well, it might be easy to remember: caribou head and water. Cook @350 for 3-4 hours. Add rice.
 I am glad I didn't try to do this myself! 



Soup's ready!
