A Few February Favorites

I believe I have somehow gotten around to posting once a week and it's not been hard to find something to write about because my life really is quite full and amazing. I thought that this week I would share some favorites, mostly from my phone . . . where I get a good look at what's been happening.


On one of the snow days, Natalie set up a classroom in our basement. I did not help with anything except to run some copies from some workbooks, and off they went. When I went down to check on them, this was the scene ... except that Koen had done his work and was quietly doing something on the ground. I asked him to get into his desk for the photo. I love how they find the folding tables and get creative.
A bit later in the morning I brought them each a snack and Miss Natalie took them away to be had at the proper time. She is strict.
I just had to document this once because it's something they love to do. It began with Tehya and after she left, her teacher position was taken by the next in line.


On another day I had the two-year-old cousins here and this is how they set up to color together. I wanted to move them apart, because it looked uncomfortable, but they were just fine.


One day I was invited to grandparents' day to spend an hour with Lacey in her classroom. This photo was sent to me by three different people who saw it on facebook ... where you won't find me.


For valentines I made a cherry berry pavlova with a ginger custard for our care group dessert.
Lovella brought a chocolate version. I wish I could have some right now.


One sunny Sunday afternoon we drove to Vancouver with friends and walked the seawall at Stanley Park. It was a beautiful taste of days to come.


And if I'd only shared one photo this week, this would have been the one! Kari sent it to me because he's wearing an outfit we gave him when he was born. Maybe it looks like a Grammy outfit, but I think he just looks so cool and calm and handsome. I can't stop looking at our sweet little guy who is growing ever so quickly.  

And that's it for now.
Thank you so much for visiting.
What pictures would you share today if you could?

Love, love, love all the pics but I think the classroom is my favorite...well except maybe for Baby Jack....but the classroom because I so wish our 'cousins' could have time together like yours do...what a blessing! And so fun to get a peek!

Cousin school is just so much fun - it made me giggle. They are so cute and those 2 year olds take the cake! They can colour so good! Little Jack is just adorable and I love his outfit. I could use a slice of that delicious looking pavlova ....

'Cousin School' - I love it! Our six grandchildren do not get together more than once or twice a year. If I could share a photo it would be one I would take of all of them together.
