Week 45

November 4-10

A little glimpse of what we did in our everyday lives this week...

“Mama! Look at my car shop!”

Samuel begged to make muffins one morning — and then he and Elsie, proceeded to eat a DOZEN of them!!!!! This photo was taken midway through the muffin frenzy. 

Playing in the leaves

Napping 

When we moved here in July, locals shared the happy news that a playground had just been installed! Unfortunately, four months later, we are still waiting for it to actually open. This photo represents new progress: the mulch for under the play equipment has been delivered. Hooray! Now we will watch and wait for it to be spread. Samuel asks to drive by and check on the mulch pile nearly every day...

Making leaf lanterns 

Maybe one year we will start a new tradition and make lanterns to celebrate Martinmas. Or maybe we will just make lanterns because it’s fun to collect leaves, get decoupage everywhere, and then have to take a bath just to be less sticky. Hah!

Meet Little Baby Jansson! Emma and Dylan, friends from church and coworkers from the ranch, moved away from Oregon the same week we moved. They were 3 weeks ahead of us in their pregnancy. We’re so excited that their beautiful daughter is here. Welcome sweet girl!

Speaking of babies, we’ve been preparing for our new baby. I ordered a small box of newborn diapers and couldn’t believe how tiny they are. They look even smaller in person!
