Family Adventures: August 2012
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. While in the city of Hämeenlinna,. We went to the birth house of Jean Sibelius. It really is a simple museum- he was not born into wealth. His father was a doctor, but died when Jean was very young. The family was then forced to leave that home and move in with his maternal grandmother. Jean was originally discouraged by his family to pursue a musical career (i.e. find a career that pays! Door to King's room as seen from inside the courtyard. Two cute page boys. Gavin Hears a Who.

Family Adventures: November 2011
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. I have been teaching preschool for Alex's friends this year. It has been SUPER fun for all of us. We have the best kids in the group- and just the right number of them. Today, we had a bit of a crazy day, but at the end we had adorable hats and shirts to show off! Last year we happened to stop by Kmart right after Halloween. It was a brilliant move. The kids got to pick out some fun costumes at a super discount price. I wish I had remembered to go again this year!

Sunday, January 17, 2010. We Believe in Miracles. An update on Alex:. Christmas has long since passed, but it was very enjoyable. The kids had fun with the games they received, and I had fun knowing I got them for a great deal on Amazon! Here's some pictures from our big day. Best Christmas Pageant Ever. They all wanted to get right in there and see Baby Jesus. It was definitely Christmas! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Friends who have kids with a hearing loss. Gavin Hears a Who.

Family Adventures: A real moat!!!!
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-real-moat.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. I don't know why, but I have always been fascinated with moats. When I found out that Finland had several castles I was determined that we visit one. I was ecstatic to see the moat- though it didn't seem all that forbidding with the seemingly shallow water and ducks floating by. The Häme. Door to King's room as seen from inside the courtyard. Two cute page boys. Super steep stairs- can you imagine running up and down these without a light helping you to see? Gavin Hears a Who.

Family Adventures: July 2012
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 22, 2012. Boats, Trains, and More. Our modes of transportation in Finland were widely different from our SUV at home. It was boy heaven- we rode trains, ferry boats, sailboats, buses, and planes. It was all fun for us- but I did have a big smile on my face when I hopped in my own car the first day back to go to Wal-Mart. Traffic Park in Finland- - super duper fun- and one of the only free activities we found. We went back several times! Sailing with Spencer's colleague Hekke. In Tampere, we ...

Family Adventures: May 2011
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. I called my sister to spread my joy and she quipped, "Aren't you glad you didn't save your visiting teaching until the end of the month! It was on a small counter that was cluttered with lots of tools for our reconstruction project. Hooray for Anna! Hooray for everyday miracles! Last Wednesday we took Alex to the audiologist for a mapping appointment. He was very helpful this time in completing the listening tasks. Six more months of maturity went a long way!

Family Adventures: Churches
http://spencerandnancy.blogspot.com/2012/07/churches.html
Friday, July 20, 2012. In Tampere, we lived almost next door to the most famous Lutheran cathedral in Finland. It was a safe haven during their civil war and it is home to artwork from one of the most renowned Finnish artists. We enjoyed visiting it several times- and we often walked through the property on our way to shopping areas. I made a point of visiting just about every church possible- mostly Lutheran. We enjoyed a couple of organ concerts- WOW! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Miles of Smiles: June 2009
http://milesofsmilesblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. FYIIt helps to "Publish Post" not just save the post. So I have been off for awhile now as most of you can tell. I probably have no readers at this point, but they will eventually make their way back. If you post, they will come! My last post was in early February. Since then the following has happened (as brief as possible):. My parents came for a visit the next weekend when some of the craziness had died down. Notice I just said some of the craziness! While on the trip, we had b...

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. I finally took pictures of the other two wall colors. I know that the red is bold, but I think that it is going to look great! On another note, they started flooring the house today, so the countdown is on. We are hoping to be in the house in 4 weeks or less! I hope that everyone is staying warm on this very chilly day! The media room with another coat of paint. I think that it looks better, more uniform. Dining room.need I say more! Another shot of the dining room. 2 We jamm...

Miles of Smiles: April 2008
http://milesofsmilesblog.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 7, 2008. Jeff has started getting into golf and a good buddy of ours is helping him out. On this particular day, Samuel got a lesson as well. Let me tell you, his golf ball went much straighter than mine did! I have a better video, but it was 12 MB too long to upload through Blogger, so I will have to edit it later and upload it if I remember. I think I missed March! That we have all shared back and forth. Oh to have constant weather, but, alas I live in Texas! Where did the little baby go?
