Autumn 2014

   WELLLLLLL, I never did finish the last six days of my 30 Day Photo Challenge...but that's okay because I have just decided to call it my 24 Day Photo Challenge! Woot! Success :). 

   We've had a pretty busy Fall Season. What with cottages, Autumn walks, baking, canning, sewing, visiting, trick or treating, and Chase's dedication I don't know where the time has gone! Here are some pictures of our last couple of weeks.

   My oldest sister Danielle is expecting her fourth baby! This means that a couple of weeks ago I got to watch two of her kiddos while she went to a midwife appointment! I love having these girlies over. They keep Pj occupied and I love catching up with them (definitely miss seeing them daily like I did when we lived with them!). 


Pj and her cousin Kiera colouring together! So sweet.
Beautiful Madisyn.

Life is so funny!
I had to share this picture - Pj's face is epic! I was trying to get both girls to look at the camera at the same time so I may have made a very strange yelping noise - their different reactions are hilarious. Kiera is shocked and Pj finds me quite funny.

 
    We were able to enjoy some beautiful Fall weather - cool but sunny! Pj, Big C and I took full advantage and made sure we got out for lots of walks! We love living in the city. We walk to get groceries, visit the park, check out the many thrift stores in our neighborhood, and generally just get outside! We also are loving our large green space in our backyard. Here are some pictures I snapped of Pj enjoying this great outdoor space!



She LOVES being outside! 

      The cooler weather does mean that we have had to spend more time inside too though! I am having a little difficulty coming up with things to keep Pj busy. Big C is still easy enough - he is getting busier but enjoys playing in his swing, on his playmat, and watching Pj play. 

Pj decided to play "dress-up" one day instead of having a nap. She came down to show me her creation - wearing three of her skirts all at once :)! She was so proud and thought she looked really "pitty!". 

What to do on a cold rainy afternoon? Why not have a "bath" in the sink while Momma bakes? Works for Pj! She played in the sink for HOURS!

She really has been pulling some funny faces lately.
Afternoon cuddles! I love that she is becoming more cuddly!

   At the beginning of the Summer Mark and I changed our church membership to Crestwicke Baptist Church. Its been such a blessing to our walk of faith, our marriage and our family life. We also have been blessed by some very amazing people coming into our lives. One family has a little girl a couple of months older than Pj and a little boy a couple of months younger than Big C - could it get any more perfect?! 

Big C and his buddy Alexander!!

Our bundle of blessings - best friends in the making! Nadia, Alexander, Pj, and Big C!

   Pj has fallen in love with her baby brother. I have to constantly watch her to make sure she isn't hugging him to death! She especially loves cuddling him - giving him hugs, kisses, and laying beside him as he naps. 




   Halloween night fell onto a cool and rainy night. We had picked up some thrifted costumes for our kiddos so we dressed them up and just took them up and down our Condominium road. It was great to meet some of our new neighbours! Pj was so cute! She would knock on the doors, say "tick or tweat" and "tank you" all on her own! She was very excited about the candy in her bucket! Since then we have used the treats as her morning snack - she is so good. She carefully picks out her snack and happily eats her "hard earned" treats!


Our little cow. Pj thought he looked so cute! She kept saying "mooo" to him. The next day she was able to tell her Grandma and Grandpa what Big C was dressed as - which shows how old she is getting (to be able to recall events from the previous day...that's new!). 

Our little monkey aptly dressed as a monkey! She was so adorable. So proud of my little girl!

   We have had a busy but wonderful Autumn! I am in love with our life right now. We have a beautiful home, a wonderful Church family, amazing children and an Awesome God! There are days that I can not believe that this is my life! 

   I'll leave with some last pictures of my amazing blessings. Pj and Big C - my loves!
