The Story of the Bodhi Tree

Hearts

Wishing you and yours a day full of love, warmth and lots of hugs and kisses!!!

This is what we did today - cards with heart stamps and paper cherry blossoms. Fun times.

Sickies

During these sick days that we have been having over here, I have managed to dred parts of my hair three times, and knit one pair of wool longies for the Bodester. Things are looking up as I am recovering, but oh so slowly (whimper, whimper).

My sister arrived home from a trade show in Munich today, and brought us by some beautiful goodies (thanks Sabette!). The little hoodie is from good old H&M (when are we going to get one?). The little shoes are from the trade show, the shirt (which is soft organic cotton) was what the company she works for was giving away, and the bag was from another vender at the trade show.

Alright, so I *think* I am back to the land of the living!

Back in the swing of things

Life is back to normal around here, with my quick trip back east seeming surreal. Everything was really nice. It was great to see family and to hear of all the family history and all of my Grannie's many accomplishments in life. Her funeral was huge with around 500 people in attendance! Halifax is a great place, and I would love to go back for another visit sometime.

Bodhi was excited to see me and wanted "mummy milk" right away. A part of me was happy that he wanted to nurse, and another part thought "too bad". I do love nursing but sometimes it can be challenging with Bodhi as he can be very persistant about things!

I finally figured out how to link to my flickr account! After how many tries? At LEAST a dozen. I suppose going to Waldorf for high school has some downfalls, and computer technology is one of them.
I am just starting to get the nack for all of this.... we shall see how consistant I am with posting. My biggest problem is the perfectionist in me, I always want things to be oh so great.

Today we woke up and another snow fall had occured over night. A part of me loves having snow, and another part of me feels extremely inconvenienced. Yes it is fun to play in the snow, especially with the delight of a toddler to share it with, but it can be a drag when you have somewhere to go. My mom talks about remembering snow with her first two babes- getting them bundled up and how difficult it could be. I give my props to all the mums out their who deal with the snow and cold AND everyday life!

Yesterday after a doctors appointment, I made my way to a local quilting shop which can be deadly to say the least. Yep, this is what I came home with. Some beautiful fabrics from Heather Baileys collection! Hopefully I will have some sewing time this weekend to make some scarves and oven mitts.
