I posted that I was super-frustrated about this on my facebook status update, and a few people mentioned that their houses have also experienced ladybug attacks. Well, at least I am not alone in this. Not that it makes it any better. It's raining outside today, and I am hoping that it would prevent them from coming out again today or in the future (well, at least until spring). We'll see...

Everything was set up and decorated so beautifully for the dinner. The theme was "young at heart". For entertainment we had "Twilight Tappers" from Hamden/North Haven area (you can see some photos and videos of them dancing under the cut). Thank you to all who worked so hard on planning and preparing this dinner, your labor of love was very much appreciated by all of us!

Edward building a jewelry box at Lowe's Build and Grow Clinic
February 14, 2009
Lowe's has a wonderful woodworking workshop for children – "Lowe's Build and Grow Clinics". They hold them about twice a month, and Edward was one happy child attending the last two workshops. On Valentine’s Day he got to build a jewelry box, complete with mirror inside and a bright red heart to open and close it. Lowe's gives a cute little kit for each project to an attending child, complete with all wooden parts already cut out, pre-drilled holes, nails and detailed instructions. Each child also gets an apron and safety goggles (that they get to keep, although they are encouraged to bring them back for the next project), and a child-sized real claw hammer to complete the project. Upon completion, children can show their work to a Lowe's associate supervising the workshop and get an "I built it" certificate and a patch for that specific project to be sewn on their aprons.
This last Saturday in February we went again, this time with our friends Frank and Amy and their children Caroline and Frankie. All 3 kids loved building their own race cars. That was pretty much the only toy they wanted to play with for the rest of the day. They were so proud of the cars they built themselves! We are certainly going to the next couple of projects – the next one is a table-top basketball game and the one after that is a yard mobile. Sounds like fun and, in my opinion, these kind of projects give children valuable skills for working with wood later on as well as a lot of in-the-moment excitement and thrill of making a beautiful finished project that is a step up from a coloring page or a play-dough experiment.
If you have small children, I would certainly recommend these workshops. So sign up and attend!

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with our small group yesterday, including singing traditional Christmas carols and lots of yummy food. Jill asked me if I had my camera with me and wanted me to take a couple of their family portraits. Of course, I was happy to! Their family is so beautiful, don't you think?
Merry Christmas to all of you!

When Stan and I lived in Russia (2000-2003) for almost 3 years we had lots of fun traveling outside of Russia as well. Europe was one of the favorite destinations (well, as well as Egypt) as we went to Europe (different countries) 4 times. I still miss all the beautiful things we saw and hope to be able to go again someday.

All three of Stan's sisters play harp beautifully. Both Melanie and Angela studied harp in college, so they are both professional harpists residing in Southern California. These pictures of them playing were taken during Sutterlins' 60th wedding anniversary, photos from which I still have to post.

Gates of the Mountains is such a beautiful place, and every time we visit it reminds us of its historical significance from the times of the Lewis and Clark expedition. As this site puts it:
"At the point where the plains surrounding Great Falls gave way to mountain foothills, the [Lewis and Clark] expedition again took to the river. They passed Square Butte, which they named Fort Mountain, and entered canyon lands... The three-mile long river passage, now a reservoir, cut through 1200-foot high cliffs. Lewis' journal of July 19, 1805, describes the passage and the optical illusions common to travelers: "the towering and projecting rocks in many places seem ready to tumble in on us…this rock is a black granite below and appears to be of a much lighter color above. This extraordinary range of rocks we called the Gates of the Rocky Mountains." "…the rocks approach the river on both sides, forming a most sublime and extraordinary spectacle. Nothing can be imagined more tremendous than the frowning darkness of these rocks, which project over the river and menace us with destruction."
Diana and John got married in a beautiful church with stained glass windows. Diana was a beautiful bride, with a contagious smile that she shared with everyone all day! Diana and John also had fun dance time at the end of the reception, even little kids enjoyed participating!
Congratulations Diana and John on your beautiful day!
