into the magic

 

Harkin has entered the wizardly world of Harry Potter. He read all the books in less than 3 weeks and then attended a very cool celebration at one of our local libraries. He loved every minute of it and has had lots of fun talking to his big brothers about Harry Potter's world.

crafty lady

This little lady loves to create. Every day she is busy in the art cabinet pulling out something or other to make. Some days we do thing together, others she just comes up with ideas all on her own. I do love seeing how her creations will come out and love how she has the time to be able to do it. One of the perks of being home all day.

here we are

So I have been gone from this space for far too long. It has been almost two years since I have regularly posted. Since it is the first day of Spring and Spring is for new beginnings, I thought I will try again.  Our life has been full and so much goes on. Time is going by too quickly. I need this space to reflect on our days and to keep a record of what happens in our life.

These two obviously have grown to love(tolerate) each other :)

the games have begun

All Harkin really wanted for Christmas was his own axis and allies game. He used to borrow Lardons but then would have to pick it up every night before bed. Now he has his very own with some new updates and we found a great place for him to play it during this past week while Eric hasn't been working.  He's a very happy guy!!
 

January 1, 2022

How crazy that a new year has begun. The past six months I have not blogged at all and so much has happened. Half of the year missing. I will need to write a year in review maybe but for now I am hoping just to get in more time this year recording our days here once again. Last night we did our annual fondue which everyone loved.  It was a pretty mellow night as I was tired from working at the mountain and Eric and Will needed to get up early this morning. 

We are wishing for a happy and healthy 2022!

june days

June was busy with family visits, camps, celebrations, fathers day, birthdays and our anniversary. We seemed to be doing something all the time and then July happened and the boys began working 3-4 days a week, Adi joined our family which makes it hard to go too many places. So we have just been hanging out at home having very lazy days of summer.  Reading, playing board games, and chasing a puppy nonstop.
