Yay spoons

A quick final shot of Thea's new favorite toy - a wooden spoon courtesy of a gift from Eric and Lauren to Jeremey several Christmas's ago.

November cont.

Our friend's Joe and Paula from Spain have moved stateside for a few months. We are thrilled to have them close by and it's all the more reason for everyone to get together more often. Thea continues to enjoy the company of others (in this instance Ariel). The hat in the picture was made by our friend Channa - I have one that matches!

A few more images from our visit to KY.

Thanksgiving (ish)

We are taking advantage of the mini-vacation to catch up on blog photos, sleep, and a leisurely pace to our days. Hope this finds everyone well and apologies for so many pics all at once. Thea and I had a wonderful trip to Kentucky over Veterans Day weekend. So grateful for everyone coming out to Mom and Dad's place (Carews, Scotts, Franzinis, Tata (98!), Mimaw (96!), Emily Tingle/Settle and her family, etc.)

Thea is 6 months old!

We're back in the world of electricity and appreciating the ease of life with power. We weathered 4 days quite well though, thanks to our wood stoves and gas cooking stove. Nikolai didn't have school all of last week and Thea was most interested in catching the light from our headlamps. Hope this finds everyone well - appreciating the little things in life.
