C's birthday celebration continued for another week when our dear friends from Portland came out to visit us (really, they are more like family!) My children went bowling for the first time ever and had a blast. But we mostly spent our (much too) little time with them just playing at and around the house. When you have good friends to see you really don't need much else!

Pure bliss for me is simply having these seven amazing children in our little house. My heart was full. We are so very blessed to have such friends in our lives. I wish it could always be this way but for the next four years visits will just have to make do. We will hang on to those wonderful days with all our might until the next time...

what a fun celebrations and isn't it nice to have friends who are like family? We have a set just like that, and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Love the photo with the body art :)

oh I am so glad you had the chance! Yep, we painted a wall in the kitchen with chalkboard paint, I planned on doing our homeschooling on it, including the story drawings BUT the wall is textured just enough to shred our chalk and make it hard to write on :(

I just love the picture, like Karen said, "with the body art." My 5-year-old is also currently covered in red marker (which she swears up and down is chalk haha).

Gorgeous pictures! We also recently moved very far away from both family and dear friends and I completely understand your feelings. One last thing: I love your chalboard wall, how smart!

What kind of stroller is that? It seats two and is not very bulky?
Beautiful family!

Thank you for joining me here. My name is Nicole Spring AKA wife, Waldorf homeschooling Mama to four sweet little ones, homemaker of the radical kind, knitter, cook, seamstress, student of life as well as my children, crafter, girl of all trades... and always with a camera in hand to document our days so we may look back at these glorious yet exhausting times.

I enjoy hearing from you and would love it so much if you wouldn't mind taking the time to leave a comment. They mean so much to me (honestly, they make my day!). I appreciate not only seeing all that you have to say but also being blessed to get to know you better. If you ask a question please check back here for my response. I try my hardest to respond quickly. Thank you so much!!
