Post #13 of Personal Project 52 weeks. Weekly post. A day late. Again. Sometimes you just have to put family first. And work. And house. And other commitments. * Mattias loves to lay his weary head on pillows. Often accompanied by โnigh-nighโ. He sure is letting himself be known lately. He has a loud strong…

once again….great pics! I smiled about the forts, just today the kids had quilts and blankets all over the playroom building forts for themselves and all the animal stuffies…Noah was in there like a dirty shirt! Good to see the progress on Art’s hands…small steps hey ๐ And Mattias…what a cutie!
-
Such good photos. Again. Who cares if you’re a day late? ๐
Where’d your inlaws buy??? -
Art’s hand looks good … but there sure is a difference, though better then what could have been I guess. I love the last picture of Mattias, he is so cute! Yes, forts are always so much fun and can be such a big job to clean up … but I guess if it keeps him busy!
-
I LOVE those frames!! Great photos!
-
karin, great pictures ๐
Post #11 of Personal Project 52 weeks. * Car line-ups. A boy thing. A 3-year old thing. Or 2-year old thing (because thatโs when it began). The line-ups are getting more and more elaborate. Sometimes even arranged by color. Often all facing the same directionโฆ except the grader because he always thinks the back is…
-
love it, once again! noah’s car line ups are awesome!
-
Tuesday was terrible, I wish I had more advice or encouragement to send your way…”this too shall pass…” is all I can muster ๐ And Lucas is starting up on the car line ups, he’s at about 3 or 4 cars ๐
-
I still love your posts. I sure could never do them once a week! I would love to do something like this once a month, either way, it’s a great way of documenting the little things in life.
-
I LOVE the shot with Mattias laughing! Beautiful!
Ya, the potty training thing is highly overrated eh?! LOL! And don’t count nights … it will come on it’s own. One day you will look back and laugh …. one day! -
love the car lineups on the table – it’s something that will pass before you know it, and then you’ll look at the photo and remember. hope that this week goes better on the potty front – it IS very hard! ๐
-
Beautiful…
The top right photo is just gorgeous.. -
LOVE the car lineup!! Joel did the exact same thing, in fact it’s ALL he did. We just needed his bucket of cars and he was happy. I used cars to potty train him too. I bought a 24 pack of cars and every time he pooped in the potty he got a new car. Worked for him but every kid is different too. Hope it gets better for you!!
-
This project is going to be so so worth it when it’s finished! And, I totally get your taking photos/enjoying the moments comments! ๐
-
oh i mentioned it before, but i love your weekly update-photography!!!! when the year is over, you should print a book!
-
That b+w shot of Mattias laughing is so precious.
-
Once again, love these pictures! I know I’ve said it before…but that picture of the cars line up brought me back to when Cody was 3, sigh! wish I had taken these types of pictures! Love the pics of boys….beautiful shots in great moments. I’ll say it again…the tears are not worth it Karin! I’m coming from experience with my son, it will happen in due time! (I know, easier said than done) Hang in there!

[…] not sure what to say about the potty training. He is nearly 4 years old. We officially started in August, exactly half a year ago. When we went to Osoyoos in September, Noah hopped out of the car after a […]
Post #10 of Personal Project 52 weeks. Okay a wee bit of warning. If you are squeamish, donโt look at the top right photo. Itโs in black & white to soften the blow. * I always thought that by default any child of mine would love technology. As if technology-loving is a predisposition. Inherited. And…

I’ve been patiently waiting to see the picture of Art’s hand…and now I’m almost sorry I looked! You really have to stop taking picture of food as it’s not helping my diet AT ALL (you just make it all look so yummy)
-
Were to start?My mouth water if I see all that yummy food!That finger groose(?)you right out after that nice food(bad combo) I like Art’s hair,Dad would say nice and easy.Mattias is funny on his hands and feet.Thanks for your update!Love it!
-
Karin- I just love these posts! They always make me smile, including your comments…there is something about them that make me crack up…for me, this week, it was the fact that you took a picture of Art’s gory hand. You’re a die hard and I love it!
-
Yikes, I can’t believe that. I hope it happened at work at least so he is covered. Poor guy!
-
Okay – that rice dish looks positively yummy. I’ll bet I’m the only one in my family who would love it. So therefore I can never make it. Cause I usually only make what my kids will eat. ๐ You’ll get there …. haha
Pic of Art’s hand? Cool. But that’s the nurse in me. However, it does look painful. I don’t blame you for taking pics. When Braden was in the hospital last year, we took pics of him too. With chest leads and everything. ๐ -
what a great photo of a very sore looking hand! poor art! ๐
love your food photos, too (esp the potato soup, looks so delish!)!
Post #9 of Personal Project 52 weeks. It has been quite a week. Mattias started the week sick and puking. Noah was sick and puking by Thursday night and all day Friday. For once, I was spared. God knew that I would need my strength for something different. Art sustained a work injury on Wednesday….
-
You almost make me sick with your multi-tasking, Martha Stewart-ness. That is if you weren’t so darn nice.
-
I used to get the Kraft magazines – they are so good, thanks for the reminder, I think I’ll sign up again. Glad to hear that Art is on the mend, though that is awful news to hear. I hope that his recovery goes smoothly and that life with this new adjustment comes easily.
Great pictures. -
I just love your food photos, Karin. You should definitely pursue your cookbook/recipe compilation avec photos… it would be such a great keepsake. Sorry to hear about Art’s injury, that’s not fun at all. Praying for a speedy and successful recovery!
-
I love those Kraft magazines too, they’re great! We’re praying Art has a good recovery. Thinking of you guys.
-
I am also in love with those shortcakes – please tell me if you ever figure out the recipe! I’m hoping that Art is feeling okay and starting to recover.
-
Hey you! Thinking of you guys through this all. I think Al actually gasped when he heard in church ๐ Too close for comfort. I hope you have the same hand surgeon as Al did in Langley. He apparently is the best of the best we’ve been told by many other medical professionals. Wishing you both much strength and patience through the long wait for the best possible recovery and outcome of this. Take care… thanks for posting.
-
ouch ouch ouch!!! so sorry to hear about Art’s hand. Praying that it heals up ok. that is scary! Hoping that the pain is manageable too.
And those shortcakes from Krause are soooooo good.
I hope next week is a better week for you guys!
-
Sorry to hear about the injury! Hope the healing goes well, Art!
-
Wow- quite the week you’ve had!! Hoping Art’s hand heals quickly! Your pictures are awesome and your cooking skills are just as impressive! You are one domesticated diva!!
Audrey - your little guys are so beyond cute!
Lisa - I love the first photo of your boys! Sooooo adorable!
We have a family photo just like the last one of the silouettes, taken in Australia. Love how your legs and Art’s are so long and the boys so short ๐
Taylor - Aww, so cute!
Bep - well done Mattias!Nice pictures Karin!
leona - way to go Mattias for mastering walking! love those sequence of pictures of him walking…facial expressions are fabulous :)Nice to see a pic of you too Karin! ๐
