Welcome to my blog

A new experience for me. After some consideration and a lot of work I now have my own home page and blog. The Ruthiepooh home page is already huge with many galleries and photo stories. This blog is a different matter, but at least now I have the […]

Outing

After a long period of cold and rain, the weather finally cleared up and it was possible to go outside to play. The kids ran outside, eager to get some sun. Jacob walk to the forest edge, light in his step. The sky was blue and the birds […]

Exam day.

Today is a special day. It is time for the kids to finally show what they have learned over the last term. They are all waiting eagerly, curious to open the exam papers and start writing. Jamie is perhaps a little less nervous than the rest as he […]

Studying divination.

First, we have a new student. This is Jamie, he is Emilys brother who finally has come over to stay with her. The class is preparing for the exam in divination. In the curriculum they have covered several ways for how this can be done. Tim and Lorelei […]

Easter Puzzle

Twinkles in their eyes.

Finally Christmas Eve. The kids have been waiting impatiently through the whole day while watching cartoons and eating candy. They barely had any dinner, they were so excited about what might be hiding in their gift under the tree. Finally the moment has come. Desert has been eaten. […]

Decorating the playroom

My tiny Lati family all dressed in their finest when it was time to decorated the playroom. They even pulled out their little cart to help with the proceedings. Decorating is so much more fun when you have sweet little helpers. Someone got tired sooner than others. And […]

Caturday

A little while ago Signe and Sophie was happy to welcome a new baby sister. Her name is Bonnie, and she is a happy little toddler. The cat can be a little shy around the new kids, but the next day she came up to say hello. The […]

Itty bitty problems

A new little one has moved in at Happy Homes. Itty bitty Elise, as I have named her, was made by a Chinese artist that can be found on Instagram as danhuangapril_dolls. Here she found lots of little toys, just her size in the nursery, and after a […]
