The Clark Family Fun

We have had pretty sweet week with lots of cooking and baking. My friend Nicole and I threw a baby shower for our pastor's wife. She is having a girl and she likes elephants. So we made elephant cookies, elephant cards, elephant this and elephant that. Elephants everywhere. The party turned out good. I have never seen so much pink in my life. It truly was nice to get home and see my "blue" boys and "yellow" girl.;-) Apart from elephant activities I have been experiencing with Julia Child's recipes and found out that I used about 3 lbs of butter and a quart of cream this week! Check out the layer of butter Elijas put on his tiny piece of bread by himself. Our little Sofia is so charming! We still cannot tell the color of her eyes. They almost look greenish to me. What do you think?

So how are we doing here in Lynden? The new year started with some pretty warm and rainy weather. 50 degrees is more like spring than winter. We have been able to walk quite often with the kids. Tim even pulled out a grill last weekend for some "pink" burgers (that's the way I like them) but Eli insisted on "blue" ones since he is a boy. "Pink is for girls" he said. Sofia is growing fast. She started stacking toys, puting things in and out, on and off and she has six beautiful teeth. She bites apples now. Her favourite word is "dada" of course. She sure is a daddy's girl. Elijas is a charming little man. He sure has a lot of things to say and most of them are pretty funny. Mostly he just repeats what he hears from us with a really serious look like: "Don't you think is too cold here!?" etc. I hope everybody is doing just fine.

I cannot believe 2010 is here! We have been truly blessed in 2009. I would like to praise and thank the Lord for what He has done! Tim and I spent the New Year's Eve at home with the kids playing games and reading books - namely Peter Rabbit all over again and again;-)New Year's Day was relaxing as well with more of Peter Rabbit. It was raining all day long.I have some New Year's resolutions though. Share Jesus and learn how to de-bone a duck. Don't laugh. Love you all. Happy New Year!
