The Music Lessons Have Begun!!

Danika pleaded with Nevin and I, to let her start piano this year... not that we were against her playing, but we needed to find a teacher willing to teach her. A lot of them don't like to start them till they can read... however we found one, and Danika loves it. She told us some day she is going to play just like Auntie Susan! So Auntie Susan if you read this thanks for the inspiration!
Here is our future fiddle player... we went, when he was 2, to see professional violin players and he stood on his chair for two hours and listened very intently to them. ( Quite a thing to get him still for that long.) He calls fiddle music mim mims, as that is what it sounds like to him. His great grandpa Morrow played the violin till he was 80... so hopefully Brodie will follow in his footsteps. So far he is liking it...lots of work ahead but we need to start somewhere.

Danika 1st Day of playschool..

Danika started playschool, and is she ever happy! As she thought it most unfair that her brother gets to go to school and she didn't. It is just one morning a week, but it makes her happy!

Saskatchewan Sunsets!!!!!

Looking out our driveway at a very beautiful, red sunset......
one of the nicest I ever saw.....
makes you feel very small in God's creation.....

Happy BIrthday Mom!

Mom came to Saskatchewan for her 60th birthday. Here she is at the airport after she found us in the crowd holding a very big sign wishing her a happy birthday and welcoming her to Saskatchewan.
Here she is later that night with some of the grandkids and her birthday cake from good old DQ!
Here are Danika and Cheyenne modeling their new matching outfits Nana brought... as if they did not look alike enough without the clothes! The boys got matching shirts but they didn't pose for me.

Brodie's First Day of Grade 1!!

Brodie started gr.1 on Monday! Hard to believe he is old enough to go.... Mom was sad to see him make the trek down the driveway to wait for the big yellow bus... but he was excited, so I was glad for that.

Getting on the bus...

The warm welcome to his classroom...

Sitting at his desk...

Last Thursday, Danika had her tonsils out. Here she is waiting for surgery.
This is her a few hours after surgery. She recovered very fast. After getting out of the recovery room at 2:30 pm, she never went back to sleep till 9 that night!! She is doing well here at home and is already eating solid food. She is glad to have it all behind her. The one comment she made after they did some blood work was.. " they took a lot of blood from me Mom, but I am not dead yet." I guess to her three tubes of blood was all she had in her. Kids really do say the funniest things.

The Beginning Of Harvest...

Was a beautiful evening, and so I took the kids to the fall rye to snap a few shots.
The men have started to swath it now, so I guess that means harvest of 07 has started!
