Play Tunnel

Elijah got to play with his Christmas present

he loved it right away

and he is quite fast crawling through the tunnel

and back

January Thaw

yesterday when it was already above 0C

the cow still standing in the snow

this morning you can see that a lot of snow is gone

yesterday

and today

Freedom a Sunday-School lesson

a Sunday school lesson about freedom

starting in Egypt, with freedom from slavery

and freedom from worshiping idols

The plagues were not random but targeted certain "gods"

like the frog-headed god was targeted with a plague of frogs

the cattle had all kinds of boils

and the god who was supposed to protect the Pharaoh's offspring couldn't

with play-dough we made "freedom pictures 

freedom comes in all shapes and sizes

but the best kind of freedom is freedom from sin

and that comes through Jesus Christ

Empty Play Pen

Looking forward to see Elijah, he may not spent that much time in this Play Pen

but it is available for him

Sorting

This was all delivered at Eric's instead of our place

so I got to use the lunchroom for sorting,

it actually worked well

Dishwasher

Peter came to make sure we can plug in the new appliance

somehow we need new appliances once in a while

we have lots of stuff plugged in with surge protectors

yesterday the power went out and came back with a boom

wonder what appliance we need to replace next

Birthday

It was Rien's birthday yesterday

Made "bowl"

we almost fit in one room

Snowmobiling

On Friday Marc went to school on his snowmobile

Rien took a video

Sun Pillar

It's cold and the light pillar looks shoots up in the sky

A Cardinal and a woodpecker

today the Cardinal was a the feeder

love my new camera lens

Trying to focus on the eye

I took these pictures while talking to Olga on FaceTime

We've had a couple of Woodpeckers all year
