Retro: Before the Gecko Party
Shari has made some great cakes over the years, but in my opinion this was one of the best! Nathanael’s “gecko party” was about to begin, and Nathanael was dressed for the occasion at the age of 2 – ten years ago today.
Just for fun
Retro: Just Readin’ Our Bibles…
10 years ago today, Nathanael and Hannah were just readin’ their Bibles. Let’s admit it – it was a photo shoot, showing off some new gifts. It was Resurrection Sunday!
Retro: Empanadas
Ten years ago today, I made empanadas from scratch for the regular customers and also a special guest – Shari’s sister Amy (visit Amy and her husband Nate here)! So here they are enjoying (I hope!) the empanadas in our apartment in Calgary.
And please notice the Herdez brand salsa, a Mexican brand we still have on hand here.
How To Take A Shower (at our house)
Sometimes you get so used to things, you don’t realize what you’re actually going through. But even though you don’t realize it, it just may still cause stress.
Today I decided to see if I could make a flow chart about all the issues we have first thing in the morning when we want to take a shower. I’m not talking about checking to see if I remembered to buy soap (which I did, by the way). No, our morning routine is complicated in other ways.
So here it is. Click the image to see the larger pdf version (which will be a lot easier to read).
(By the way, everything on the chart is accurate and has happened, usually quite often. In fact, three of these issues happened today alone, which perhaps is why I have it on my mind!)
A lot of these things, of course, are related to cooking a meal, doing the laundry, dishes… but don’t make me do anymore charts. Sometimes it’s better not to know! 😉
Retro: Snow Angel
Ten years ago today, Hannah was doing something she hasn’t done much since – make a snow angel!
