I sit here in constant shock at how quickly time flies. I have been in a "hibernation" mood lately. I am enjoying days at home with the kids reading, baking and spending time together. It has been cooler outside and although we try and get out each day, I am quite content to stay in the warm house with a pot of coffee brewing. I suppose it is the transition from summer to fall. I am content, and at peace.

During breakfast, I was doing devotions with the kids. We learned about Dorcas and how she was very helpful to those around her. After the story we sang some songs (all about Dorcas) and then we got ready to clear the table. Caileigh was very helpful and decided to wipe Aiden's side of the table as well as her own. I was so excited that she had listened to the story on helpfulness and decided to act on it. I commented to Caileigh that I was so proud that she was being helpful, just like Dorcas. Caileigh looks at me blankly, "Who's Dorcas?"

When Poppa and Gigi were visiting, Aiden was reciting the seven continents to them. He finished and then added "Burnaby" (where Poppa and Gigi are from). He paused for a moment and then replied, "you know, my map must have missed that one.

Mikayla loves to entertain

Christmas Card photos take 2....

Getting photos of the kids is a harder job than I thought!

Poppa's 94!

My Grandparents came up for a visit this weekend. It was amazing to have them travel this far and to get to spend my Grandpa's 94th birthday with him. We enjoyed family meals and lot's of fun play. Poor Gigi had to suffer through hours of doll playing and block building watching. They also got entertained by a dance show.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Safeway does a lot to help raise money for this cause. For the third year in a row, Sean has dyed his hair pink in support. The 2 cashiers that raise the most money, get to shave Sean's hair off later in the month. Poor Mikayla took one look at him and burst into tears!

Perhaps he missed his calling as a Drag Queen?
