November

Clearly, I have got a bit of catching up to do!
Now that the kids are getting bigger and more independent we have started to branch out a bit from our regular family activities of swimming, walking, biking, and going to the park. In November we did our first ever family bowling night- just the 5 of us.  It was great fun. Kezia is not old enough to bowl yet, but she was happily amused by straightening up the balls as they came back, and playing a little "pass the bowling ball" on the floor.

We took some nice puddle jumping walks on the dyke...

My brother Scott (and Cristal) had their first baby. A beautiful girl named Mackenzie. She was born 7 weeks premature, so had to spend some time at the NICU before being greeted at home by her cousins.

The kids and I had a field trip to Granville Island to see the play The Wizard of Oz, and then had a fun filled afternoon of bird feeding/chasing, eating while listening to an amazing fiddler, topped off by a Lee's doughnut of course. I will remember this day with fondness forever. I hope they do too!

And last but not least, we ended November with Colin's moustache!

He decided to do Movember in honour of his Uncle Dick, who was going through chemotherapy at the time. He raised over $1,000 along with some other men from our church.
