Florida Love



We have been busy homeschooling and working in Florida.

Living in our Mothership, at a campground. (Where wifi really does not work, and we've maxed out our cell phone data plan, too.)



Taking little trips to local beaches and parks.



On Sunday we'll actually move into a rental for a few months.



As much as we love the Mothership, when we are stationary, it gets pretty tight in there:)




While Mr T is still staying in Virginia, our family will soon have three boys again - my nephew A from Finland is coming soon (not that he is a boy anymore, although an aunt can think so, right?)! So exciting!

***********************************************************************

Pienet terkut Floridasta! Olemme asuneet leirintäalueella, jossa internet ei ole toiminut. Sunnuntaina muutamme vuokra-asuntoon, ehkä sieltä saa postattua useammin:) Lisätilakin tulee tarpeen, kohta meillä on taas kolme poikaa, kun siskonpoikani (aikuinen jo:) saapuu Suomesta! Tässä kuvia sillä välin.

365











Since leaving Virginia, a sampling of my 365 photography project. As you can see, we are back in Florida (except Mr T, who stayed in Virginia at my sister's), living the nomad life, and roadschooling.
(The picture of Baby L is from last week, but I edited on the 12th.)

**********************************************************************************

Viikko sitten Pikkuneiti ja minä lähdimme Virginiasta, ja nyt olemme melkein koko perhe koolla Floridassa (Mr T jäi siskoni luokse). Asumme taas asuntoautossa, leirintäalueella, pitäen kotikoulua (reissukoulua?). (Vauvakuva on viime viikolta, mutta käsittelin sen Lightroomissa 12. päivä.)

Happy Birth Day, Little One!

On Friday my sister had an appointment with the midwife. All looked great! Everything was ready for a home birth. Her midwife was joking about moving in, as she missed little C's birth two years ago, and had missed three other births at the exit where my sister lives.

Well....... Around midnight my sister's water broke. She texted her midwife, and said she is going to try to sleep a little before anything happens.

Little L, however, was in such a hurry, she was born 1:05 am - before either midwife made it. I missed the birth by a minute, too!

Midwife J arrived!

Daddy cut the cord, midwives attended to mommy, and 4-year old E met her brand new baby sister.



Midwife student B did the newborn exam: Little L is perfect!



Two year old C met baby L. Look at all that hair!



Saturday morning big brothers B and N met baby sister before I was up. Nana "met" baby too, via FaceTime. And a little later Muori and Vaari in Finland did the same.



Welcome to the world, baby girl! We love you!

What an amazing miracle birth is, so sacred and beautiful. I feel privileged and blessed that I was able to be here for little L's arrival to the world. God is good! All the time.

Perjantaina siskollani oli aika kätilölle. Kaikki näytti hyvältä, ja valmistelut oli tehty kotisynnytykselle. Kätilö vitsaili aikomuksestaan tulla asumaan siskoni luokse, ettei missaisi tätä synnytystä. Siskoni edellinen oli syntynyt kätilön oppilaan avustuksella.

Mutta niin tuli pikkuinen L maailmaan nopeasti, etteivät kätilöt ehtineet paikalle ennen kuin vauva oli jo syntynyt. Kokeneet vanhemmat tiesivät mitä tehdä! Kaikki hyvin niin vauvalla kuin äidillä.

Olen niin onnellinen, että olen saanut olla täällä. Kiitollinen Taivaan Isän pienestä ihmeestä!
