So Canada has been pretty nice to me lately...for the most part ;) Ha!
It was a rough start when she decided to give me the gift of a summer snow storm...WHAT!?
No really...let's just take a moment and reflect....
Seriously y'all...that was not last year pics...that was this summer pics!! YIKES!! I was afraid the last few months of my stay here were going to be ROUGH!! But alas the weather has been GORGEOUS! For quite some time now...and we are soaking it up...
Bentley has been LOVING preschool! Praise the Lord!! He has such a sweet teacher and a nice size class...it is the perfect start for him!
The girls rocked out some American wear in honor of September 11th...Whit wore her "American Girl" sweater from Auntie Amy and Mal chose her Sporting KC hoodie from Mimi (it is her go to shirt of choice) Mal's teacher took a minute to talk about the tragedy and asked Mal "Do you remember that day, how were you affected?" Mal said, "Ummm I wasn't alive!" Hahahahah!! I happen to see the teacher that day and she was cracking up...she said "I am getting old!" :)
(As you can see the cold snow was still lingering at this time)
The girls are doing well! They are loving school dance and gymnastics. Mal is excited to start soccer this weekend! Whit insisted I snap a picture of her in the Frozen outfit Grandma Terri made her! :) How blessed the girls are by the talents of Grandma's sewing!! :)
They had Friday off last week for a Teacher inservice and after we dropped B at preschool we went to Ihop for a fun breakfast! Man I love these monkeys!! :)
Brody joined us as well ;) He seriously ate an entire pancake!! :)
He was a happy guy!!
Speaking of Brody...he is getting SO big!! And SO busy!! I can't believe we are just a few short weeks from his first birthday! He is crawling around and pulling up on everything! Not to mention dumping out everything!! He is so much fun and so happy! He is the best little addition to our family!!
(Tina and Charlie, he is obsessed with this thing! He and B fight over it! Y'alls gift is well loved!)
Bentley is starting to work on more drawing and writing...he has so not been interested and it still is hit or miss but he has his B down now and he drew his first person and then decided to draw the whole family...the girls and I were cracking up!! He is too much!!
This past week was Canadian Thanksgiving...since we won't be celebrating until American Thanksgiving I took the kids class some treats...
Then on Sunday we went out to the "pumpkin patch" they actually can't grow pumpkins here so it is just pumpkins sitting around...and they actually call it a "corn maze" but the corn is dead and shorter than Bentley...I was just cracking up...I remember one time in Pittsburg during college we went to the corn maze and it was seriously 2 feet taller than Scott and we were lost in that thing for hours...I guess the Prairie grows different kind of corn ;) hahahaha!!! I had never thought about it before...
But they did have lots of fun activities and we had a wonderful time!! Good ol' family fun!!
(how funny is this...B was seriously irritated that Brody was on his bowling lane!)
(Words can't express my love for this picture...the sole reason I am in Canada is my love for this man!)
(this is Whitney inside the corn maze)
I miss home...so much! But life is good and we are blessed. Counting our blessings each and every day!! Love y'all!
