Happy??? Devils Night.

This is how we spent our Devils Night.

And the end result.

Beautiful Day.

Nothing new to report. Just enjoying this beautiful weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving weekend we had a lot to be thankful for.

Friday was the one year anniversary of receiving our referral for Isaac. Its hard to believe that this time last year we were staring at a picture of our future son. It seemed to take forever to finally get our referral but when we look back now the year has gone by so quickly.

Our referral picture of Isaac.

Isaac today!!!!!!!!!

Cameron came home with a terrific grade on his math test! We are so happy with how hard he is working this year!

Mike's friend gave us his cottage in Tobermory for the weekend. The kids had a blast building a fort in the woods behind the cottage and throwing sticks in the bonfire. We barely saw them all weekend and they we pretty upset when this morning came and we had to head home.

What would a weekend away be without catching a couple of snakes! Notice Cam is wearing gloves while my girl who loves all things slimy is holding her snake with bare hands. It was a great weekend! Hope yours was too.

We headed to Port Elgin this morning to check out the whole Pumpkinfest thing. It was my first time going and it was a little disappointing. Believe it or not there was not a pumpkin to be found. Seriously. Now I'm sure they were there somewhere but we looked and could find no pumpkins. The kids had a good time anyway.
We had to park and take a shuttle to the festival. Here is Isaac on his very first school bus ride. He absolutely loved it.

Av and Isaac grabbin a five minuter on the way home.

All I want for Thanksgiving is my two front teef.

It definitely felt like fall today, and whats the best thing to do in the fall?? Visit the pumpkin patch of course.

More exciting news today.

The picture says it all. But she's still the most beautiful girl in the world.

The most beautiful word in the world.

Mama....And Isaac said it for the first time today.




On another note, we went to a wedding last weekend...all of us (yes we were feeling pretty brave at the time)and here are some pics that I wanted to share.

Isaac. And that sour look on his face remained with him ALL day.
Avery, Cam, Isaac and cousin Tiernan.

My very handsome oldest boy and my very cranky youngest boy. So ya I did take this pic and I know its blurry but I still like it.

That's all.

Rain, Rain and More Rain.

What a crappy weekend. We haven't seen the sun in a couple of days now and everyone here is going a little crazy being stuck indoors.

Here are the kids goofin' around just trying to make the best of it.

Isaac's first hair cut. He wasn't to happy about it to say the least. But the end result was pretty cute.

Daddy's girl.

So Friday came, the last day of the first week of school, and Avery brings home religion homework to complete over the weekend. The work came home in a folder that the kids in the class could decorate themselves, you know...personalize them.

This is the cover of Avery's religion folder. Apparently its a frog skeleton.
