I began this month complaining about my first-world problems. And yet, as I continue to look at all the injustice in the world, I realize just how blessed I am. This month has been filled with a lot of reading and researching and praying about the plights in Burma and Thailand, and I've found that my thoughts are often a half a world away. And yet, there are still needs here. My children still need me. I have a wonderful community here that I can't ignore. Life goes on, and I strive to continue to look for the beauty in what this last month has brought.
The month began with Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. The boys and I have been reading Amon's Adventure, and I think we are on track to having it finished by Easter. They have really liked it and I like the response thoughts at the end, and I think they will be even more appropriate for the kids as we do this year after year. We've also colored our Lent Calendar daily that we got from Catholic Icing. It's been a nice visual as we go through this month.
I forget sometimes just how much we go out to parks. I'm still not carrying my bigger camera around so here's a few from my phone. I just love the beauty of Seattle.
After Daddy got back from his trip, he took the boys to Maker Faire in Seattle. They had a lot of fun seeing all the cool things people have made. They even came home with their own tabletop moviemaking studio. They have had fun making their own little stories.
