Only the second Halloween in our married life that we've been home to hand out treats and not out with our kids around the neighbourhood.

A home game for volleyball this week and Kaden and his team have improved so much since the beginning of the year. Kaden didn't miss a single serve in all of his 3 games.

10/29/2013

Kaden had the chance to attend a "We Day" banquet as part of our school's leadership team. He was super pumped about meeting some of the speakers like Spencer West  –  but his highlight was drinking out of a champagne glass. "Mom! I had like 4 glasses!"

Another Monday morning with a morning job on the white board and a full schedule...and pencil crayons organized and put away by Grade 1 friends.

This is a change... I used to do her hair before church and today Kiandra did mine.

10/26/2013

long time family friends
+ spaghetti dinner
+ lots of laughter
= a great way to spend a Saturday night.

Date night...Kiandra dropped me off at Conrad's work...

...then we went out for dinner

....and then home because we didn't have to pick the kids up from youth.

Kiandra and Goliath

10/19/2013

Another driving milestone...first time driving without a passenger. Kiandra made it to and from school for drama practice AND a stop at the bank to deposit a babysitting cheque.

10/18/2013

Picking up Kezia from youth on a rainy Friday night -- with Kiandra babysitting and Kaden at hockey, she was the only one at the church this evening. With Kiandra having her license now, picking the kids up from youth may become a rarity.

A friend picked these up for me on a recent visit to the States-yum!

10/16/2013

I was on pick up duty for kids club this evening and had the chance to snap this pic of me and Tammy in our October dresses. Today marks the 'over half way' point!

That time Kiandra and Kezia went to the mall by themselves this evening with Kiandra behind the wheel...

10/9/2013

The last place you'd expect to find Kiandra and Kezia...at their school's boys volleyball game. Our family friends from out of town were playing there and so our family went to watch the game. Unfortunately, this may have inspired Kaden to try out when he gets to high school.

Picking colours for this year's yearbook with our yearbook editor.

10/1/2013

While using an idea I saw on Andrea's blog to organize my scarves for the ODP I came to the realization that maybe...just maybe...I could benefit from this project a little more than I realized....I *might* have enough
