Travellin'

This photo is one of my favorite ones ever. I love the light, I love the little girl :) and I love the bright colors. This was taken the day we were driving to see yet another apartment which turned out to be the one :). So a special picture in every way.



Little girl was playing with her dad and the both of them had a brilliant time.




This last photo was taken on our way to Ikaalinen during Easter. Little girl had slept for an hour and woke up very happy which was so nice since she hasn't relly been a very keen traveller.



After a photographic update then a literary ;) one. As of yesterday we no longer own our apartment! Yay! Today at 3 p.m. we meet at our bank to close the deal on our new home. Double yay! :) Scary, too, since it is kind of a big loan we're undertaking but we've done the math (how could we not have, given Husband's occupation :)) and we think that even with a clearly higher intrest rate we'd still be ok. And we're loving the new place so it's worth it even if things are tighter at some point.
It's been a really eventful spring up till now I have to say. First we were selling, then we sold, at the same time we were looking and finally found what we were looking for. In the midst of all of this our daughter is growing and learning new things every day and making every day both busy and special.
Then of course there was Easter. The very first Easter that I didn't get one chocolate egg and more importantly never got to church. You see, we were in Ikaalinen for the weekend which was lovely but I have to admit that it feels weird to not have celebrated the single most important Christian Holy Day there is. I missed all of it so much! It is a good feeling to be sad about it, though. Once in a while it's good to be reminded just how much I love my Christian tradition and my church. I don't need to be reminded about loving God :) but the other part of my relationship to Him - the one that is tightly connected to His church - this is the part that I at times don't remember just how much it means to me. Consider me reminded! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and the miracle of Christ's resurrection has touched you in a new way once more.
