I have seen a few pictures in this style.  It was a challenging way to show off my Modra ceramics and end up with a unique picture of Klaus. 

I wanted to experiment and try some pictures with this dead tree by Grandma’s house.  We learned a few important things during our trials.  Number one, get close.  Secondly, make sure the ball is up high.  Third, be careful, the sun burns extremely quickly!

I was so excited to find forget me nots while hiking near Fruita, Colorado this last week. 

Three Generations!  

We woke up to snow today!  So we decided to have fun making some cold weather drinks.  

You can find the recipes here:

Mocha

“Rotten” Tea (known as Friendship or Russian Tea to most people)

Dairy Free Hot Chocolate

P.S. The snowman cup is a mug that Andrea made for me at an art class she attended when she was 4.

This weekend, Allan and Adrian were in a play at church.  It is called the Living Last Supper. It tells the stories of each of the men using the painting by Leonardo da Vinci.  

Each disciple came from a different background and interacted with Jesus in different ways.  It also shared the crucifixion and what happened to each disciple after Christ’s resurrection.  

Mark and Katie’s little boy, Klaus, is one month old! 

… At least for a little while yet.

Daddy gave this gun to the kids to play with  years ago.   When Daddy visited Owen Sound when he was around 7, his cousin gave it to him.  He said that he was on a trip with his grandma and every trip with her has good memories.

I am not positive, but I think this toy gun is a Hubley Double-Barrel Pirate Cap Gun gun from the 1940s.
