Tuesday, January 29, 2013. The First Ski and Snow of the Season. We recently took the Sauda ski boat. We stayed at the Marathon apartment with Leif Christian and Therese for the weekend. And while Jeff and Leif Christian enjoyed some skiing. I got to hang with this little girl! It wasn't too long after our ski trip that Stavanger received its first heavy snow. Jeffrey wasted no time in gathering supplies for a proper snow man. And of course Pistol has to be a part of it! Location: Røldal, Norway. Jeffrey...

http://checkthemap.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 11, 2013. We've had quite a few things going on this spring (more on that later! But we managed to fit a few hikes in when the weather permitted. After our visit home in March, we took advantage of the long Easter weekend by hiking Vårlivarden. We had another long weekend in May (Norway has a TON of national holidays in the spring! So we took some advice from a fellow expat and drove to Hagalid to hike Skomakarnibbå. This hike goes through woodland, bog, and up cliffs along the 7km trail.

The Renditions of Renoir: Jack's 9th Birthday
http://therenditionsofrenoir.blogspot.com/2015/12/jacks-9th-birthday.html
The Renditions of Renoir. Time to document in true fashion! A new journey- from Shanghai to Sydney and now to Hong Kong! Crazy and oh so different as it seems- it's "life as we know it"- and how we love it! Wednesday, December 30, 2015. Jack is in the 3rd grade this year and has Miss Stow. We couldn't be more happy about his teacher and the school. We love Jenks SE! I could do praises on that school all day long! I love it. Another thing for them to bond over. His birthday once again fell over Fall Break...

Oh my baby- or my toddler as Jason likes to tease me- is just 3 months away from his 1st Birthday! I think I write this every month but why in the world does time have to go by so quickly? I love watching him look, touch and taste new foods. His face is ...

http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2015/01/introducing-simple-joy-sundays.html

For now, I'm following through on my new hope for 2015: regular postings. Enter: Simple Joy Sundays. We've had a blissful New Year. Beginning Tuesday with our tearful reunion after a bittersweet send off for my Mimi and continuing through the turn of 2015 and the wonderful bonus holiday weekend, we've had six days of joyful connections.

Everyday Inklings: Pros and Cons
http://everydayinklings.blogspot.com/2012/11/pros-and-cons.html
Friday, November 30, 2012. So my Nano novel was completely abandoned at the half-way mark. This is the first time since 2008 that I didn't dash off 50,000 words of (mostly incomprehensible) creative indulgence. This was also the first time that the guts of the story seemed to really come together on their own, so I'm sure I'll return to those 25,000 words-in-waiting next year. House hunting. Maybe. No. I don't know. I have to go make my pros/cons list. The question boils down to this:. Most of our years ...

A baby son. Three toddlerhoods. Now three childhoods (tween years pending.) Seven cats. Fifty-some chickens. One dog. Circa 1994. Oh my! And that only includes the facebook-worthy moments....
