Journey Journals: Of Late
http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2011/12/of-late.html
Thoughts along the way. Saturday, December 31, 2011. In December, we celebrated two birthdays in our house. For Jon's, I made Snickers Cupcakes. They were pretty much the most amazing cupcakes I've ever made. Everything was made from scratch (well, that is, except for the Snickers bars), and I added a pinch of coarse salt on top for that salty sweet combo. Yep. They were awesome. We also celebrated Christmas. Here are a few little shots from Christmas Eve. The girls got to open one present. With those th...

http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2011/12/advent-days-10-11.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, December 12, 2011. Day 10: Go on a sleigh ride. This is another reason why I love our neighborhood. At Christmas time they have a community Christmas party/potluck, complete with sleigh rides through the neighborhood. We weren't organized enough (extraverted enough? Day 11: Bake cookies with mom.

Journey Journals: October 2011
http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, October 03, 2011. It's in those moments of being tired and overwhelmed that I am most likely to snap at the girls. I find that packing them up and heading outside is exactly what we all need to keep from going a wee bit crazy. This morning was another morning of exploring for us. We headed inside this time, to the Muttart Conservatory. As we were leaving, Laurel said, "Thank you, Mommy." I replied, "Thanks for what? Other things that are making me smile these days. Paddle ...

Journey Journals: August 2011
http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Our office/toy room/dumping ground was getting way too unorganized for my liking. We needed a desk, but only had a table. What was I to do with pens and post-it notes and random scraps of paper, not to mention paper clips and stationary and envelopes? Here is a before picture. And an after picture. And speaking of sewing.here is a little apron I made for Laurel for Christmas this past year. Thursday, August 18, 2011. So, here is a series of mini-posts.

Thoughts along the way. Friday, February 11, 2011. The Christmas Letter We Never Wrote. Dear Friends and Family,. We hope this Christmas finds you filled with joy (etc., blah blah blah). 2010 has been a year filled with learning and adventures for the Gilchrist clan. This year we've learned. How to buy a house without really looking for one. More about safe asbestos removal than we've ever wanted to know. Renovations will always longer than you anticipate. How beautiful Kelowna is.

Thoughts along the way. Saturday, December 03, 2011. Day Two: Make Cards for the Cousins. My sister-in-law started a tradition where the cousins all make Christmas cards for each other.

Journey Journals: January 2012
http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, January 30, 2012. I've discovered that one of the hardest pictures to get at this phase of life is one with both girls, together, looking at the camera AND smiling.here was a recent attempt. Both Looking, But Not Smiling:. So, I opted to take a few of just Brynna. And here are a few from a recent walk. Brynna got to be snuggled under blankets in the stroller, and slept most of the time. And she stopped to make a spontaneous snow angel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Journey Journals: April 2011
http://journeyjournals.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Jon and I have two girls' names that we really like. And a smattering of boys' names that we don't completely hate. We are still looking for boys' names, which has meant reading through a book that boasts over 40,000 names that have actually been used. Here are a few from that book that we know for sure we will not be using. Call us picky, but the above names are not making the cut. Friday, April 22, 2011. Meals in the freezer. CHECK (about 16 meals).
