    Hi, I’m Krista.

    Strategic communicator and storyteller.

    I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
    And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
    oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

The Cambridge Diaries: Reception

September 9, 2011

A huge thank you to all of you who prayed that Jakob would ease well into school. On Thursday I woke Jakob up in a hurry. While I had been awake for some time, time itself slipped away and I hadn’t realized it. He dressed in his uniform without a fuss even though he was determined back in Canada that he would not wear a costume to school.We hurried to school along the cobblestone backroads of Cambridge until we reached Sancton Wood. It is about a 25 minute walk which can be a challenge for any 4 year old, but hopefully that will soon be remedied with a bike and trailer.
There was a little humph! with arms crossed as the teacher invited him in but it didn’t last long and soon he was down on the ground playing with cars. Jakob just needed to know that they spoke his language (cars). The Nursery Nurse (I think this would be teacher’s aid) said that he did very well. At home he willingly sat with me while we read the book that was sent home. He even wanted to go back to school today and when I went to pick him up, asked me to ask him who is friends were. I asked and he replied very emphatically, “Harry Tot and Ben” So there you have it. Success so far. Next week is 5 days in a row which, I fear will be a shock but you just never know.

He prefers his carrots with the “grass” on them

The funny thing about living in Cambridge is that I check my email during the day in vain as all my friends in Canada are, hopefully, peacefully sleeping. When I get up in the morning they are just heading to bed and when I go to bed at night the kids aren’t even home from school. Regardless, it is always good to hear from friends and family, so do drop a line now and then.

Good night world.
