After my girls get away
I really wanted to spend the
week regrouping. I felt
very rejuvenated and
compelled to focus on the
family.
In my world this means
Monday started out with
baking an apple pie. :)
The kids LOVE apple pie.
It is Tillie's favorite food.
They also love helping me
bake. This recipe turned out
really well. I do not want
to forget so I am adding it here.
Maybe you all will be inspired
to pie making;)
This time the crust was half butter

Currently I am working
with more intention on Wesley.
Matthew seems to have hit

winter fix...Conservatory.
This place works magic
on us. I slowly make
my way through all the
beautiful flowers.
I take my time with all
the humidity and the
earthy smells. I could live there.
Of course we ran around to
see all the zoo animals.
The kids really had a great day
checking it all out.
Wednesday was Ash Wednesday.
Matthew and I want to Mass.
I do like this time of year.
Lent for me is such an inner
focused time. I feel we slow down
and notice the sacred.
Thursday we spent the
day on a waterfall hike with our
good home school friends.
The hill is steep, but the kids made the
most of it.
It was a gorgeous day.
A really good hike.
Seeing the places
I love in all seasons
is an inspiration to me.
Friday we spent the morning
ice skating with
uncle Bryce and cousins.
Over the weekend we
were invited to celebrate with
my cousins little girl.
It was her birthday. Tillie has
so much fun with her.
Happy Birthday Madison
thank you for letting us celebrate with you.
thank you for letting us celebrate with you.
Until next week
