Our (Almost) Christmas Card

This is our (almost) Christmas eCard. I would have sent it out happily had we not taken family photos yesterday and gotten an official family photo. In some ways I like this card better than the one I’m sending out. This is more fun, for sure!

Mikah Turns 11

Mikah turned 11 last week on our usual town day. But instead of running errands all day, he went to friends’ who surprised him with a visit to the Wildlife Safari. So nice! But his birthday did not stop there. He’s been wanting to go bowling with the brothers in this family. So kind of [...]

This boy is helping me explore, figure out and enjoy my new iPhone. Thanks sweetie. I thought I was pretty technically apt, but you’ve shown me you’re an 11 year old whizz!

Mother’s Day Pictures

g-g-kids

How was your Mother’s Day? Ours was wonderful! Jeff’s parents surprised us with a visit; Jerry (Jeff’s dad) was in Oregon for business so they extended their trip to stay with us for a few days. Judy and I both had an agenda – pictures. She wanted updated pictures of us for Jerry’s new office. And I wanted pictures… just because. I realize that there’s alot to catch up on Such Treasures. But because I can’t possibly catch up, I am just going to jump in, and try to fill in the blanks as I go.

Step Into My Office, Please

office

I did some rearranging yesterday of my “office” – to create a nicer background for videoing myself in gnowfglins.com teaching videos. Also, how was your Christmas? Ours was restful and quiet – we had a sickie in the house.

Merry Christmas! (Again)

I wanted to send out a card with a little more flair than the one I posted two days ago!

Merry Christmas!

Some Pictures from Montana

haniya

Just playing around with pictures today. Haniya has informed me that she wants a turn on the Mac today, so she can play, too… These pictures are from when the kids were in Montana with my parents, after Jeff and I had already returned home. This was the day they were at the top of Logan Pass (Going-to-the-Sun Road) and there was a snowstorm!

Mikah’s Helicopter Erector

mikah-heli-erector

We gave Mikah a motorized Erector set for his 9th birthday. We’ve been so busy with the barn and school (and dishes, to his dismay) that he’s not had much time to devote to it. Until this weekend. He built that helicopter almost entirely by himself. I think it is remarkable because it is no easy feat to decipher the directions and work with the tiny screws and nuts. He thinks it is pretty cool that the picture shows the propellers spinning. We think Mikah is cool.
