Christmas Concerts

Tis the season!

For the first time all three kids were involved in the church’s Christmas concert. Thespian Ethan always wants to be up front with the other kids, so this was his chance. He did very well, trying to do all the actions. Adelaine was a bit shy..

Waiting for their turn.

 

Nice hat, buddy.

 

Ellie was also asked to help with the play. She got to play a kid belonging to a poor family.

Reading in bed

 

Adelaine takes a stack of books with her for her afternoon rest. She usually doesn’t nap, but she does go for a rest. The other day I heard Ethan go in her room after he woke up from his nap. I heard the two of them in there talking so I took a peek, and this is what I saw.

 

Fwee!

Ethan is “fwee” years old today!

Your happy little heart makes us smile each day and you are a joy to have in our family. Happy birthday little buddy! Mommy and daddy love you lots.

Leaves

Fall is here and so are the clean up chores. Some chores just seem to attract kids and fun, and raking leaves is one of those chores.

Ethan and I went out one day to rake up leaves. We had assembled a large pile of leaves when the girls discovered what we were up to and came outside with their giggles to join us.

An evening at the beach

It would seem that we have a new tradition when we return to New Brunswick. We head out to Cape Pele beach for some seafood and a walk on the beach with my family. This is where we have introduced each of our kids to the Atlantic Ocean. This time we made the trip on our first day back in the Maritimes. It does my heart good to see big water with that wonderful salt smell.

 

 

 

Mmm.. Good day.
