This One Still Moment

Our life lately... wow has it been crazy!

From our little home daycare getting settled into routine, starting up with Young Living and experiencing and learning how to make this huge, awesome change in our home, Clark looking into new procedures for his MS and more diet changes to go along with that, a new nephew and a niece soon to be born and the busyness of Christmas, we haven't had much time to sit down and take a breath.

This week Clark is preparing for a sermon. I didn't realize how much I missed it when he preached. Funny hey? I'm the one who is taking in what he is learning. But really, sitting down and listening to his sermon in the making, being able to add my 2 cents and asking questions when I don't quite get what he is saying, I just love it! It's so different than listening to a sermon being preached or even a bible study.

So that is my sitting down and taking a breath this week. That is my looking at him in awe of all God is teaching him and letting God teach me through him. That is my moment to fully appreciate the stillness.

And that moment is good.

Oh Fall, my favourite...

The season of fall is in full swing and we are loving it around here. 

The crisp air, the pumpkin in everything 

and the beautiful changing leaves make this season a favourite. 

Here's what fall looks like in the Holmes home.

Crocheting cozy infinity scarves to keep us all warm this winter. 

Next up: a baby scarf for Brynlee!

Always a good reminder to be thankful, but especially around Thanksgiving. 

And what better than a cute little banner...

Love our chalkboard for all sorts of things, but especially to display with artwork.

This great little space to decorate with pumpkins and wreaths.

And everything pumpkin! 

Pumpkin in pies and coffee syrup and muffins and granola and the list goes on and on...

What does your fall look like?

She turned 1!

We had some birthdays around here in September, one of which was our baby! We had parties and lots of fun celebrating our little one. Here is some of what happened around here...

We had a birthday party with all of Brynlee's little friends

And a family party

Skyping with Granny,

opening presents,

and eating cake!

We also had a fun cake smash!

Our Life Lately...

It's been a while since I've shared about what's been going on in our lives, and wow has there been a lot that's happened in the past couple months. So here's a little photo update...

We moved into our new house...

And finally got settled

We tried our first cookie

and loved it!

We moved up to a big girl carseat

We visited our new little park

We had a visit from Granny

We learned to plank, crawl, stand, walk on furniture and crawl up the stairs...

We sent Daddy to Toronto for the National Skills Competition

Where he won a gold medal!



We went to the Niverville Fair where we watched a parade...

 
and got our faces painted...

and saw some animals at the petting zoo

Now bring on summer so we can go to the beach and go camping and do all sorts of fun things that are brand new to our little girly!

Moving On...

After 2 and a half years in our little house, we are moving to a little bit bigger, little bit newer house. As exciting as this is, it's also a little bittersweet.

This was our first home

We had lots of fun in this house

We brought our baby home to this house

And have watched her grow  

 Now we are packing our belongings

And getting ready to make some more memories
