Super Sister to the Rescue!

In advance of LB's arrival, Samara's aunt Anna sent Samara a very special package - a Super Sister costume!  She made it by hand and incorporated Samara's favourite colour (purple).  Needless to say, Samara's been having a blast wearing it to daycare and around the house.

Check out the video below for a sample!

Pumpkin Carving

Samara was very excited about helping to carve the Halloween pumpkin....okay, mostly helping to clean out the pumpkin.  Still she had a great time emptying the pumpkin of its seeds and "guts" (as she called it).

We ended up with a Dora the Explorer jack-o-lantern (see next post).

Guelph Thanksgiving

This year was a departure from our typical Thanksgiving weekend.  As a birthday gift to Mer, we decided to take a road trip to Guelph to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and foliage. 

We stayed at a hotel on Saturday and with Dennis & Mary (in the coach house of their new home) on Sunday.  We took a lovely walk through a conservation area, enjoyed wonderful company and all pitched it to get Thanksgiving dinner ready.

While we missed our family gatherings, we had a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Meredith!

In honour of Mer's birthday, Samara and I made her a 'video card'.  

Gymnastics

Samara goes to a gymnastics class for kids on Saturdays.  She seems to really enjoy herself and why not?  Running around, jumping, climbing, rolling around, crash mats, trampolines....what could be better before lunch?!  Here's a short video montage of Samara doing her thing.
