I couldn't resist posting this one!



We enjoyed our annual trip to Brown's Farm to choose our pumpkins for
Haloween 2005! The kids had a great time as there is lot's to see and do.
Enjoy...



The kids enjoyed the tractor ride out to the pumpkin field.



Here is Kaeleb with our bounty! I'll have fun cleaning and carving next weekend!
It must have been a great year for growing pumpkins as there were tons to choose from
mostly really big!



All in all it was a fun morning, cool but fun. The kids had a blast and brought home some decorated cupcakes and a candy apple for later. Kaeleb is extremely tired in these pictures and is sleeping as I type!

It's portrait time again! It was an interesting experience!
Daelin was an old pro, he really should be a model he's such a natural (to think how shy he used to be I couldn't get a portrait shot of him!).
Kaeleb on the other hand did fine for the double shot (which we did first) but then he started looking around at all the neat props they had and just wanted to play. It was really hard to get him to sit still, look at the camera and smile all a the same time. He's actually in the process of getting up to run in the picture I chose but I still liked it...and he's holding his favourite toy - duckie!

We recently got a new playground in our neighbourhood! Now that's excitement! So, Daelin and I went to check it out this past weekend. He absolutely freaked out when he saw "cera" (a triceratops) and loves to sit on her. The kids in the neighbourhood are getting lot's of use out of it already. Too bad they didn't get it in this past spring so that they had it all summer! Oh well we aren't complaining considering they've been fighting for one for almost 20 years!



Daelin has really enjoyed his trips to the new playground. We have also been pleasantly suprised at how nicely the older kids play with the younger kids. These two boys were so good with Daelin really encouraging him, making him feel like one of the gang. You could see that it made Daelin proud!

It is Buddy's (Grandpa's) birthday today (October 10) and we celebrated at their house yesterday with coffee, cake and presents. As usual the kids had a blast. I think that Mormor & Grandpa were thankful for some peace and quiet after we all left.


Both Daelin & Kaeleb have developed a love of books (and magazines). They really enjoy cuddling up with dad in bed and reading!


See what happens when your kids are raised by dogs? Well I guess fair is fair since Clio is usually sleeping in his bed!




Daelin and his dad went to the Toronto Zoo for the day. They had a blast and 3 weeks later Daelin is still talking about it!




It is safe to say they had a great time! Daelin is even becoming quite the photographer, all pics of Richard have been taken by him!
