Halloween

Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween. We did. It sure was chilly though! I did like the fact that it was still light when we struck out at 6. Cousin L was with us, dressed in a very pretty dirndl. J was a giraffe, and R was my little Dorothy. She was very upset I made her put her coat on over top, but about an hour in she was complaining to me about how cold she was.
Cousin Z was along too, and a super cute little monkey, (R’s old costume). Of course we also went with our dear neighbours. Good times!

Dieffenbaker

Our boy kitty Dief was put to sleep this morning at our vet’s office. I took Dief into the vet this morning to have him looked at but he was much sicker than we had thought and was in pain. We’ll miss him.

Carving pumpkins

We had a nice day (after R had a nap to recover from the sleepover). After a delightful afternoon b-day party at the local conservation authority (happy bday G!) we went to grandma and grandpa’s to carve pumpkins with them and L. It was quite fun!

Sleepover!

Well, Oma had another sucessful sleepover with her grand-girls. The girls loved it, got to count the stars, and of course stay up late. Apparently they were asleep by about 10pm, but up at 5:30….ayja!

Standing and crouching…

J was practicing standing up and crouching down with me coaching him on. What a cute kid. Here are some pictures of the workout.

Pumpkin patch

We had a lovey day at the pumpkin patch. It was a tad windy, but we were not to be deterred. Check out both kids have flying hair!

It really feels like J’s first birthday today

Yes, I know that is strange. One year ago today our dear son came home. It was a sunny, warm fall day like today. I can’t believe it’s been a year. He was so small! Now he’s a happy healthy one year old. What a blessing he has been and continues to be in our lives. Here are some pictures from the day.

Here is J with daddy. I want to dig out the old picture of him coming home, he was wearing the same outfit (different size of course).

J now knows “Wie Gross bist du?” Or in English, “how big are you?” This is him doing it for the camera.

By the way. I bought a set of pylons for R and friends to play with outside. What a hit! The kids loved them. They set up obstacle courses, yelled into them, and watched how they glowed as they put them over the outdoor lights. What great fun.
