    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.

Jakob and Ella Minishoot

August 16, 2013

I did a little mini-shoot with the kids this morning sporting some of their new school clothes. It’s hard to believe how big they are getting. Jakob has certainly turned into a little man and his eyes tell all of his kind nature. Ella is a cheeky and yet compassionate as ever. I am so proud of her despite her lack of tolerance toward her mother when it comes to showing off her alphabet skills.

You see a couple days ago, I stupidly popped over to this blog and broke the cardinal rule – I compared Ella’s skills with the other little girls’. No parent should ever do this, and yet sometimes we do. We can’t help it, we are human. Because the reality is, while that little girl is doing great and we all should be happy for her, Ella is also doing so well. Ella excels in her own way, has her own personality and she figures, why do when she could teach. Ella LOVES to play the teacher and refuses to play my little alphabet games, number games, colour games, etc. because she would rather control the situation…or in our little satirical clip, flop over and refuse to do anything.

 

Anyway, on to the good stuff…caution cuteness overload.

From our family to yours: Have a spectacular weekend!
