Goodbye Holidays

Chris is back to work :( boo! But we did have a great last day of the holidays going for a picnic out near Darboro/Samsonvale. Tavi and I are going to miss having him home so much!

We've been thinking more and more about what we would like for our future, for our family, and for our little son. Even though teaching does have its benefits we're not convinced that it will be Chris's life long career, which is a little bit daunting but also very exciting. My goal is for us to be able to live with less income so that he can be home more, and we can spend more time with each other and investing into this precious little life that we have been given to look after.

It is funny that Chris and I have both studied education, but lately idea of homeschooling is starting to look very attractive. I'm convinced that kids learn so much more from their parents than they ever will from any teacher, regardless of whether you home school or not, so teaching him will always be a priority for us, whether Tavi goes to school or not. We've also been talking to friends who have been home schooled and plan to home school their children and their reasoning why, and so far it seems like it might be a good fit for us.

I know, the pants are ridiculously huge. But also undeniably cute :P

We stopped off at a lavender farm but it won't be in full bloom till June. I'm hoping to buy some extension tubes for one of my lenses by then so should be able to get some cool macro shots. I also took my first panoramic shot yesterday, so much more to learn but its a start :) Next time I'm thinking sunset or the beach or the city, or perhaps all of them.

 


Our little nephew Jace is coming over this afternoon for us to take photos of him :) Looking forward to more newborn cuddles, he is just so tiny and cute! Will definitely share some pics of him next week.

Tavi is getting more and more active every day, having his own mini adventures and exploring his world. Speaking of which...
