Hi there! It's been a while! December, Christmas, birthdays, New Year...they've all come and gone. We had a nice holiday break filled with food, drinks, music, friends, family and the typical stress that goes along with such occasions. The highlight of the month was getting to see my sister out of the convent. Unfortunately it was due to our Dad being extremely sick (he's doing much better now) but it was SO good to hug her and be with her for a whole day! So, without further ado I give you our December in photos.
I made a few bottles of infused mugwort oil for gifts.
Ruben played a solo show and it was so great! I'm so proud of him and his music! This was such a fun night. That's my mom with me there. She's not only a wonderful mother but she's also super fun to hang with!
Why are we smiling so big? Well let me tell ya! I had just watched a barn owl soaring over the field and I was on cloud nine! I'm always on the lookout for owls, scanning the trees, looking for their outline so watching one hunt not only made me squeal with joy but it left this smile on my face. Haha! It doesn't take much people!
On Saturday we went out to Calico with friends to explore. It was a great day and very cold!
Our oldest son recently visited my cousin up in Portland and went to Powell's and came home with these wonderful books for us (and him). He knows us well and I might add that he has great taste in music!
There you have it. Bits of the last month in pictures. I hope this new year is off to a good start for you! Thanks for reading along here and I hope 2016 treats us all well :)

It's always nice to see you in this space. Your whole family is chocked full of great. The fact that Ruben pursues music. Your son's book choices. Your bird watching and medicine making. And a sister who is the definition of devotion. It's all beautiful. Every last bit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful human you are! I feel lucky to "know" you through these platforms. Such a lovely post of an even lovelier family! Much love in 2016

ReplyDeleteDon't you love those sapsuckers!!
ReplyDeleteI love all these photos, each one feels like a nourishing meal. (And how proud were you to see your son's selection in books?!)
