Hello again! Ok, so lots of stuff happened. Hooray! Holly turned three, and I had a birthday, too :)<br />
We've all been super busy, and I have not been keeping up with the family photos. BUT yesterday was the day when we finally got some Christmas photos done. It was Santa Claus Parade day, here in Bridgetown, so naturally we did that first. <br />

<br />
(this picture actually shows the parade, in it's entirety.)<br />

And we had Sophie's Squash out of the library - such a fun book, if you get a chance to check it out - and so, of course, Holly had to get a squash of her very own. She checked first, to make sure it was suitably snuggle-y.<br />

One thing we haven't had to buy is tomatoes. We had a bumper crop of tomatoes this year - so far we have jarred over fifty jars of assorted tomato things (mostly salsa), and made soup. One more batch of salsa should do it. It's been lovely, and I know we will enjoy those jars for the entire year that is to come, but it will be a bit of a relief to come out the other end of this tomato business!<br />

Griffin is enjoying school immensely - he loves learning new things, and bringing them home to share with us ("did you know the proper word for an apple seed is "pip?") <br />
Holly is happy as ever, talking about unicorns, and her cousin Rowyn (her latest obsessions.) <br />
Jai just attended the provincial library conference, and loved it. <br />
I've pulled out the knitting again, mainly as an antidote to all the hours I've been spending on the computer editing people's wedding and family photos. I'm just about finished the first hat of the year, and am thinking this might be the year that I tackle socks. <br />
The planning has started on the new school they will be building in town here over the next couple of years, so I am just figuring out how involved I should let myself get with that.<br />
I just finished "Growing Pains" by Emily Carr, and can only stand amazed that it took me this long to discover what an incredible and inspiring author she was. If you haven't read it - DO! <br />
Also, we've been renovating, stacking firewood, planting bulbs, baking, and watching old episodes of "Restoration Home".

Ok, clearly time is flying. Griffin had his first day of school today. Big School, as we called it way back when he was in pre-school. He was pretty excited this morning. He got himself dressed in the clothes we had picked out last night. He dragged Daddy out of bed. He raced down the stairs, dragging Daddy down behind him, to get his cheese biscuit (we made them specially for his first day of school breakfast.) He buttered it himself.<br />

His backpack was packed the night before, but he loaded it into the bike trailer himself. He and Holly climbed in and we zoomed him off to school. It was a bit of a slow zoom, at that last little hill (I admit it, I got off and pushed), but we made it. We found the picture he dropped off last week, hanging in the hall. We found the hook with his name on it. He changed his shoes. He stood in the doorway, hanging back for a second. One little push was all he needed. We held hands, and I walked him over to the table where Ella was already sitting. There were blocks on the table. I had trouble getting his attention long enough for a kiss goodbye.</div>

Hello again! I know, I know, but I haven't forgot about the blog, we're just ridiculously busy at the moment. Anyway, I have a very small moment (with a very lot of interruptions) to write something quick here. This is a photo of Griffin at his Preschool graduation...<br />

And now he's ready for BIG school. Yikes! How does that even happen? I'm not sure it's quite sunk in yet - we are in for more big changes over the next couple of months. Also, gardening, painting the house, renovating the shop space, swimming lessons, many weddings, etc. etc. I would love to sit and write more, but it's already taken me more than half an hour to write these two tiny paragraphs! Hopefully I can share some more here one day soon :)<br />

<div>
My friend Lola sent me a message to see if I was interested in playing around with some expired 120 film she bought off ebay. This is the kind of thing I can't shout "YES!" to fast enough. Finally, a chance and an excuse to dust off my fabulous box camera - kindly given to me by my Grandfather when I started to show an interest in photography, and only used one other time before this. * </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a blast kicking around her property and playing - she with an old plastic Holga, and me with my Zeiss-Ikon box camera and not one sweet clue how to work it properly. There are several pictures that turned out wonderfully, but this one is my definite favourite.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, neither one of us was content with ONE camera around our necks, so you can see some of her other shots with expired colour film here: <a href="http://lifeinanalogue.com/2014/05/07/lauren/"> http://lifeinanalogue.com/2014/05/07/lauren/</a></div>
<div>
As you can see, she's pretty darn talented.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*The only other time I shot 120 with this box camera, I tried to develop it myself in the darkroom, and ended up dropping the film, finding (in the dark) what I THOUGHT was the film, finally forcing it to thread onto the carousel, and "developing" the paper backing** - all of which I discovered when I turned on the light, and found my (now ruined) film, lying on the floor. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
**If you ever have the chance to develop your own 120 film, it may help you to know that it comes on a paper backing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> time again! And it's not Thursday night, minutes before I go to bed! Go, me! <br />
There's a thousand things the word "Voyage" brings to mind, but these two little Russian space dogs from the 1950s - Belka and Strelka - have been on my mind lately.

Hello! I've been falling behind, but I managed to get an <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> done this week. The word was "Revenge" and this is what sprang to my mind. It could have something to do with the extra cake that's been lying around my house, since Griffin turned FIVE this week! I'm hoping to get some pictures ready to share here soon. I've been swamped with doing photos for other people, and I always feel like I should do those first! I'm sure there's a saying out there about a photographer's kids...<br />
Anyway, I'll do a birthday post soon (ish.) FIVE!Jai and Lauren Soloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33564171.post-8017370849031152122014-04-28T20:03:00.001-03:002014-04-28T20:03:28.980-03:00The Sweetie Witch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We survived last night's storm just fine. That was the first time I've ever felt the house move in the wind that much. It was quite something! <br />
I'm in the paper this week, because I actually wrote a letter, got a bunch of people to sign it, and presented it at a town hall meeting. <br />
Jai had a one-day work week because he was working all weekend, and then we had stormageddon.<br />
Griffin stayed in his pajamas all day. Holly was a baby monkey who kept finding and eating invisible bananas.

Hello! So, I did get another reprise at <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> this week. This started off as a little doodle while I was waiting for lunch to cook, and after lunch the kids and I dug out my good pastels and played around. They did some nice colour fields, and I squeezed this in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're in the middle of Spring Break here, so all our usual programs are cancelled. There's a small danger of us going stir crazy - we're in the middle of a freezing rain warning, and no one wants to go outside. The danger comes mostly from me - the kids would be happy to watch Peppa Pig videos over and over and over. So far, we've managed to keep the fighting to a minimum - two more days to go! When is Spring coming???????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello! Here's another <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> doodle. I used Griffin's pencil crayons and my Neocolor Pastels. I may try and re-do and refine this picture (charcoal and watercolour?), but I'm trying to at least make one thing a week, without worrying too much. With the kids around, I don't always have time to set myself up the way I'd like, and I'm trying not to let that stop me from doing something, at least.<br />
<br />
In other news, things are going well here. We're SO ready for spring. Not summer, just spring. Positive temperatures. The kids have March Break this week - even preschool is cancelled, so we're all here, all the time, this week. Today we made Maple Bran Muffins with Maple Glaze (yum!) and a big roast dinner. I'm not sure yet what tomorrow will bring. Probably something yummy! Have a good one!Jai and Lauren Soloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33564171.post-49241285210308728422014-03-06T20:18:00.003-04:002014-03-06T20:18:39.248-04:00IF - Voice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello! It's <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> time again! One week I am going to try and fit in some more time to do this, but for now I'm just glad to get something done, if I can. My course is going really well, but it's a LOT of work, and I don't have any photos of the kids to share right now - I've been too busy editing photoshoots. Anyway, this is just a fun one. These are a couple of the characters I've been playing with for a story I am working on. I'm just loving having an excuse to actually sit and write stories. SO much fun!Jai and Lauren Soloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33564171.post-28651769686692688832014-02-25T17:31:00.001-04:002014-02-25T17:31:27.521-04:00IF - Space<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fitting another <a href="http://illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a> in! <br />
Not much to report on the home front at the moment. Everyone was sick, and is now on the mend. I am LOVING my course, and looking forward to the day when I have a little more time. Jai has been running every night, and can now get to the highschool and back without stopping. Holly is starting to ask "why" a lot (isn't she too young for this phase?) and Griffin is (according to his teacher) the only kid at Kindergarten Kids (his pre-school group) that didn't get yelled at today. They are growing fast!Jai and Lauren Soloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33564171.post-20503697679212866052014-02-13T21:44:00.001-04:002014-02-25T17:31:20.904-04:00IF - PrehistoricHello.

Hello again. We keep having big life events, and I don't really know how to talk about them here. My Grandmother passed away two weeks ago, and while we knew it was coming since around Christmas, it has left me a little bit reeling, and less motivated to post. Most of my posts were for her! (And you, too, Grandpa!)<br />
So, anyway, we keep on keepin' on. I'm always a little less motivated to take and process photos at this time of year. We've been inside a lot. Lots of indoor picnics and tea parties (see pic), lots of baking and eating, lots of activities to get us out of the house, without being outside. It's cold! The kids have been enjoying the snow, though - I have a few videos I will put together sooner or later of them tobogganing down various hills :)<br />
Before Christmas, I went on a wreath-weaving kick. The red one below is from our dogwood tree, decorated with the wild rose that is growing up through it. <br />

And I made a bunch of crowns for the kids out of a friend's willow tree. I think it might almost be time to make some more baskets.<br />

First, however, I have an on-line course that I'm very excited about. I'm taking the<a href="http://www.childrensbookacademy.com/writing-childrens-picture-books.html"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #663366; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">Children's Book Academy Craft and Business of</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #663366; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #663366; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">Writing Children's Picture Books e-course!</span></a><br />
I'm pretty excited about this - it starts tomorrow, so I will try and keep you updated about how it goes (although I think I will be crazy busy for the next five weeks!) I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and it seemed like a good time. Something I can do, in a small way, to honour my Grandma.<br />
Hope you all are finding your way through Winter, too.

So here it is, our fall in video form. I picked a nice long song this time, so fair warning! I'm hoping you guys out in Victoria will be able to enjoy it, wherever you happen to be :)<br />

Well.... that was a long break. We had a family emergency, and then a family recovery, and we're getting ourselves back together now, and I think I finally can sit and post again. <br />
I believe I left off promising some photos of our visit to my father's farm in Duncan, so I'll start with those.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here we go: Installment #2 of our trip to Victoria. This is the long one - bear with me! It was kind of a surprise, this trip to Victoria. My Mom's family was having a reunion to honour my Grandma, and I had a wedding-free weekend, and realized that I really, really felt like I should be going. I asked Mom if she could help me cover the cost for a ticket for Holly and I, and then Grandma and Grandpa called to say they would buy a ticket for Griffin. Both they and my Dad offered to buy a ticket for Jai, but he couldn't work it out, with work. Anyway, the long and short of it is, the kids and I were able to spend a wonderful, wonderful week, hanging out with family. It was better than I could have hoped. My Grandma and Grandpa, my Mom, my Aunt, my Uncle, and all my cousins, with me and my kids, all under one roof (although some of them had to sleep in tents in the backyard) - total bliss. The kids were in heaven. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I very much hope we can do it again, next year. But in the meantime, here's some of my favourite pics:</div>

Next up: Installment #3 - a trip to the farm.</div>
Jai and Lauren Soloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33564171.post-14793371781774141562013-08-22T20:30:00.001-03:002013-08-22T20:31:28.097-03:00Swimming LessonsHello! This is a Sneak Installment - The Swimming Lesson Installment. I was inspired by my friend Lola to finally try out the video capabilities of my digital camera, and I'm so glad I did. I'm sure you can probably tell, but this was SO much fun to film and put together. Normally Holly doesn't get to go in the pool, too, since she's too young for swimming lessons, but I took her in with me yesterday because I was tired of chasing her around and in and out (and in and out) of the boys change room. Of course she loved it. So today I paid for her to have a private "lesson" and brought my camera along to document the fun. This is my first video - but I'm positive it won't be the last!<br />

I know, I know, I'm so super-duper behind. This summer will be brought to you in instalments. Right now it is very much past my bedtime, but I just finished editing some of these photos, so I thought I better take a second and post instalment #1. With more to follow. Plus a proper explanation of what the heck we were doing in Caddie Bay!<br />

I missed a few weeks there, but Griffin and I had a painting session this week, so I fit this one in. There are so many interesting aspects of the word "protest" that I would have liked to explore, but anyway, my brain just wasn't up to the challenge on short notice. And so you get this:<br />

Hello! So I didn't get back as soon as I would have liked. Best laid plans and all that. We've been pretty busy doing summer things - trips to the beach with friends, gardening, playing in sandboxes and sprinklers. And, in between all that, I have been busy editing wedding photos. It's going to be a very busy summer! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anyway, I do hope to keep up with everything, if I can. So... an update. Griffin has started soccer practice, which is pretty fun. It's for four and under, so all the kids are pretty little, and they just do fun little drills. So far he's only been to one practice, so hopefully it will stay fun.</div>
<div>
And Holly is talking more and more all the time. She's picking up words and phrases so quickly now, now that she's realized people can understand her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
The garden's coming along nicely. The fence is nearly done, and already doing a good job of keeping the kids contained. Stuff is growing. The yard is a little full right now, as we just had the firewood delivered this weekend, and it's piled everywhere at the moment. Yesterday was just way too hot to do anything like stack firewood. Still, it's always a nice feeling to feel that you will be ready for winter, when it comes.<br /><br /></div>
