This week

Just doing the splits on the power tower...no big deal.


We did some sewing.  
Eli picked out fabric all by himself and made some "decorative" pillows for his bed.


 

Alison and I made tea sachets, for a baby shower we hosted.


 
 Alison was such a great helper at the shower and I loved seeing our house full of ladies, all here to celebrate the upcoming arrival of the newest addition to our little church.


 

 It was a tea themed party.  We had a tray of different teas, as well as coffee and raspberry lemonade.  We made chocolate chip and raspberry scones, tea sandwiches, a veggie tray and strawberries with dip.  Laurel made the diaper cake, which looked so real that people asked her what bakery she got it from.

 

 My own little girl, crashed her bike :(


We started school after a long break.  It was a fantastic break and the kids have done a great job jumping back into work.  Colin likes to keep learning fun:


Our orange tree is ripe and we are enjoying basket fulls of fresh fruit!


And the most exciting news of the week; it rained!!!  The first rain since October!  It's much warmer and dryer than last winter, so we are enjoying every once of wetness we can right now.
