September/October 2018


First Day of School 2018!


We had one day to recover from vacation and then right into a busy few months.
Grade 3 and 5 looks good on them!





Both got good teachers and knew other kids in their classes so happy day.


Cosmo recovered pretty quickly from our being away - still likes to drink water as it pours on him.


Harvest from the garden!


Then some snow came!


Dad's work had a family fun day at Monster Mini Golf.





Spooky and fun and arcade!


Gwen's goals for the year at school


We had Gwen's birthday party in September this year.
We wanted to avoid the November stomach bug situation of years past...




and it worked - no sickies and everyone had fun!


Cara started her season of speed skating.
She goes once a week and is liking it.


Gwen and some Brownies friends selling cookies!


Our beautiful yellow tree!


Gwen won a turkey raffle at school! 


Terry Fox walk day.


September 30 was mom and dad's 12th anniversary and CIBC run for the cure.


Cara and Dad ran the 5k in the chilly morning and had lots of fun!


Gwen was good with walking the 1K...next year we'll all be running 5K!


After the run!
Way to go!


Met the Bear!


Then all the leaves dropped off our tree so fast...


Like the tree knew that snow was coming...


10 inches! wow!


October snowman


Thanksgiving annual run - this year dad did a 10K and did awesome!
He is so fast!


The cheerleaders probably help him run so fast.


Gwen and her prize turkey about to go in the oven.


Yum!

Thankful placemats.


Cara's birthday party went great at the Climb Park.










Her and her friends had the place to themselves and everyone had so much fun.



She wanted a Bee theme this year.






The next day was Amelia's 2nd Birthday Party



The next weekend Gwen and Mom went on a Brownie camping trip to the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre.


We got to sleep in the museum - so we picked the coal mine section.


We got a tour of an old coal mine.



A bit spooky.




It was a great weekend.

Dad and Cara had a fun time too - watching movies and going to speed skating.

He is a very special guy!
