Around here we have been…

USING our creativity to keep ourselves busy. The beginning of the month saw quite a lot of snow and yucky weather, which meant more time indoors.

The kids did a great job of entertaining themselves with various activities such as dress up, and creating art. They also had a couple of school programs that put a smile on our faces.

ANXIOUS to begin building. The piles of snow are now melting and we are seeing bare ground finally after a very long winter! This is making us more excited than ever to start the building of Arrow Hill Cottage! We have been in almost daily communication with our contractor, the bank, and the city offices – to get all the proper documentation in place for potentially an early May start!

This has been a dream such a long time in the making, that it almost doesn’t seem real – even now. We have plans to document the building process with a once per week video update on our YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe there if you want to follow along!

CELEBRATING our baby boy. {L} is now eight years old! That fact is really hard to believe! It literally seems like just yesterday we were leaving the hospital with our cute little blue bundle.

{L} has a smile that can light up a room, even with all the tooth gaps as of late. He is athletic and energetic, and quite the jokester. We love him so much and hope that his eighth year is wonderful!

SHARING our gifts with others at the school talent show. This is such a fun tradition at our school. We are always entertained by the different acts that take the stage. Most of our kids are still too shy to perform in front of a crowd, but {D} was able to participate in a few different acts: An instrumental guitar solo, a vocal/piano + guitar duet, and a violin trio.

We are blessed by his talents and are proud of him for sharing his gifts with others through his performances.

This is just a glimpse at what our family has been up to. If you’d like a closer look, be sure to check out our weekly ‘mini vlogs’ on our family YouTube channel ARROW HILL FAMILY. Be well everyone!
