Catching up...

I am just going to play catch up with pictures.

This is what we have been up to the last few months.

With the fall, comes playing in leaves and Trick or Treating!

 We celebrate Grandma's birthday - 93 years :)

 Tea parties and "slumber" parties

 

Lots of snow!

and when it's too cold to play outside, the snow comes inside!

 

Happy Hanukkah.

Visit with Santa

Merry Christmas!

 Hope you all have a wonderful new year

I ♥ Fall

Each Day is an Entirely New Creation - Enjoy it!  (just saying...☺)
Autumn really is a BEAUTIFUL season. The colours, scents, the crunch and the rustle of leaves. I LOVE it! 

some favourites  - colourful leaves to jump in, pumpkin patches, hayrides, hot apple cider, trick-or-treating, sweaters, cozy blanket....

What are your favourite things about this season?

Have a blessed day!

quotes for today....

"Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." ~ George Eliot

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made.  The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air." ` Eric Sloane

until next time...

It's been a while...

Water Play on a Summer Day

A wonderful Saturday in July spent at Oak Hill Splash Pad :-)

Eventually Allison was brave enough to venture near the water...

I am so grateful for the times that we get to spend together as a family :)
