Reading

Elliott loves books and we read many each day (including 3 at bedtime).  He has been really sick with croup this last week and we are so glad that life is back to normal and he is a happy little guy again. 

We love the ocean

We had a very fun trip to Vancouver recently (minus the 8 hour drive and 3 hours not moving in a snow storm!!)  We saw all sorts of great family and friends.  AND I didn't take any photos.  Besides these two on our last morning- Elli and I were having a great time playing at the beach.  We need more ocean time.  May be a resolution.

kids and cake

We've been to a couple of birthday parties in the last week.  Kids love cake.  Change that- kids love icing.

Lovely Sunday

 Our little friend Gloria came over for a little babysit last Sunday.  Elliott was so sweet he brought he 100's of toys for her to look at, and lined them up all around her blanket.  She was so angry when I changed her that she just cried herself to sleep and had a nap on our bed.  What a cutie.

 We also went skating last Sunday with our neighbours.  Elli and glen are such awesome skaters together.  Maybe by the end of the winter glen won't have to hold Elli's hands at all.

My fav picture of all.  B wasn't so into skating.  He didn't like how slippery it was.  So here the kids and parents are chatting, and B is making a snow angel.  Awesome.

Happy Halloween

Elliott was a dragon for Halloween.  Slightly ironic, seeing that he is quite frightened by dragons.  But he had so much fun visiting houses and went with his pals.  They were certainly more excited about going house to house than all the candy that they got.

Elliott was dead set on going to visit his friends house so at some point Elliott and B got a stroller ride from Todd. 

The week before glen and I were at an integrated health conference in Vail Colorado.  It was entirely amazing, and so super packed with lectures and groups and meetings with professionals that would take over a year to get in Canada. We both come away with a lot learned.
