Eventually we got snow





This weekend has been very special to me. The biggest reason is that I don't remember when I've had a weekend without any plans or events. That's the biggest reason I haven't been blogging for a while. I haven't had the time. It's been very interesting fall but just a little bit too busy.

Now I feel relaxed after just staying at home the whole weekend. Well, yesterday we went bowling with the youngster to whom we are a supporting family but that doesn't count. It definately was relaxing too even though Viivi had some tears while she got frustrated of not being able to get the ball to the end of the line. With a little help from mum she was able to get 16 points and a better mood.

Last weekend is a good example of far too busy one. Friday night we had a christmas party with our working place. This year our theme was future and I dressed like an alien. on Saturday night we sang at one other christmas party with our singing group from our work. There are 5 of us and we sing a cappella and everyone has their own tune. That's challenging but also very refreshing and definately the most important hobby for me. On Sunday we had a performance with our King's Kids team on church's event for children. I enjoyed all of the things that happened during the weekend but wasn't able to relax at all.

This weekend turned out to be almost perfect when we got the snow. We made a long walk with my husband and took some pictures od our neighbourhood dressed in white.

This is the pisture of the little stream that flows right on our back yard. I love watching it no matter what time of the year it is but today I really enjoyed it. When I bycicle to school I ride along this stream at the beginning.









This is how the field where we picked sun flowers in August looks now. On the other side of the field you can see people walking. We use that road when we bycicle to my sister's home. We haven't been bycicling for two months already but we do that a lot during spring, fall and summer.

I'm glad I now had the time to create a new post to my blog after while. I hope I will find more time for it in the future. One other thing I did this weekend after many months was knitting. I knitted wollen socks for Jonna. I love knitting. Today I'm going to start knitting socks for Viivi too. Maybe some of god children will get wollen socks too. By the way we got a new sponsor child through Plan from on the slums in Lima, Peru. She is a five-year-old little girl named Araceli. I also started Spanish lessons while after visiting in Peru I wanted to learn to speak the language.

Plan got 3000 new sponsors for the children in need all over the world after the Plan Ilta Lapselle -gala night. It was a wierd experience to sea myself in the tv. It brought back lot of memories! I've decided to do more for the poor children in the world. This christmas we are going to buy christmas presents that profit some organisation which helps espacially children in development countries. We started it by adopting 5 dolls through Unicef. We will give those dolls as christmas presents.

Anyway relaxing christmas time to all of you who still find it to my blogg after such a big break!
