Christmas morning

Madi must have been good this year- Santa brought her wish- an ipod nano.

Glenn was so funny! She got dressed and undressed a dozen or so times- trying on all her new clothes.

We had a fun ferry ride over to Aunt Sally's house and the kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.

Hallowe'en 2009

We missed out on Hallowe'en last year because it's not celebrated in Australia. We made up for it this year by going to a pumpkin patch, carving some pumpkins and going trick or treating. The kids enjoyed the night, but were scared by a big dog at a neighbour's house. Bennett didn't want to go up to anyone's door after that, until he was sure there was no dog in their house! What's Hallowe'en without a little fright!!

Two local newspapers, the Times Colonist and the Goldstream Gazette interviewed Joelle on different occations and posted articles informing the community of her arrival and specialty. Click on the newspaper names to see the articles.
