    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.

My name is Ella

October 4, 2011

Hi! My name is Ella and I love living in Cambridge, England.

Why?

Well, because I get my Momma all to myself everyday, all day, and we do a lot of fun things. Every day typically runs the same because that is how my Momma and I like it, with little variances and adventures thrown in here and there. Let me give you an example.

Monday.

Just like every other day, I am excited to see what the day will hold so I get up early. Somewhere between 5:30 and 6am. We take our time getting ready for the day then load up to take Jakob to school.

This is my ride. I am coming to tolerate it because now I have this comfy pillow and killer dude rag under my helmet.
Jakob’s School: Sancton Wood. 

As much as I would like to get out and play we must move on and head downtown for a snack.
This is one of my favourite times of the day because Momma usually gets me a treat.

Sometimes Daddy comes with us which is always nice. We sit here almost every morning but the view never gets old.

After Momma finishes her coffee we browse the Market and sometimes get yummy stuff to eat.

Then it is off to the Library for Storytime! There are good story tellers and not-so-good story tellers but this week, it was the good story teller….and he brought food!

I play with my friends for a while and look at books while Momma chats with her friends. But soon I get very tired and it is time to go home for lunch. I nap on the way home, but that’s it because I am a big girl and don’t need naps anymore! (so says Ella)

After lunch it is playtime at home….because as I said, I am too big for naps.

I find lots of things to tear apart, or take out or destroy but then there are sometimes when I just like to play with my dolls.

Once the house is in what I deem to be an acceptable state of chaos we go to pick up Jakob.

I sit and wait patiently for him to come out. Then it is straight to the park to have a snack and play with friends.

As you can imagine, by the time we get home we are VERY tired and ready to eat supper and go to bed.

Until the next day, and we do it all over again….
