ball hockey has been a real hit. Cree is always excited to go. he runs and plays hard and sweats lots every week. so far, ball hockey is by far his favourite of the three sports he's currently playing each week. it definitely tops baseball and soccer, so far at least. time will tell, for sure, but for now Jeff and I are really enjoying cheering him on in all his new ventures. parenting 2.0 has some real perks. :)
somehow this dear child is five. he is lots of things...articulate, emotional, intelligent, feisty, affectionate, thoughtful, inquisitive, loud, and hilarious. he loves deeply, feels deeply and is learning each day to sort out all the intensity that comes with who he is.
five whole years of loving you, Cree! such a gift!
just so glad we took the call...❤
such a fun place!
Joelle finds these fun adventures. in this case, however, a large Canadian retailer (known for its outdoor gear and apparel) found her. this recent adventure was a photoshoot with MEC (Mountain Equipment Company) for their website. so crazy to head right over to mec.ca and see her beautiful curls right there on the home page.
sounds like they gave her a great day, she met some awesome people and certainly made some memories along the way. MEC found a good one! ❤
a special request for two very specific paintings.
Layla delivered. in an extraordinary way. i captured a picture before she dropped them off. two paintings that weren't for me, but i still want to remember them.
beautiful.
a week with sweet baby J. it wrecked me, if i'm being totally honest. what a divine privilege it was to love this dear boy for seven amazing days. love is messy, it's hard, it's often amidst and intertwined with the broken pieces that surround all of it, isn't it? but it's entirely worth it.
i'll never forget him. he'll always have a piece of my heart.
God, please restore, redeem, protect, and guide all the parts of this little boy's life...may baby J. know warmth and consistent nurturing love, may he feel safe and carried by your gentle hands, all through his days.
