Fall Fun


This fall, we enjoyed apple picking and the activities at a farm outside of Thornbury.  On Thanksgiving weekend, we took an old steam engine train ride.  The leaves were past their peak but the train was cool.  We had a lovely dinner and visit with my sister's family.  Here are a few snaps from the last few weeks.

What's New


This September Maya started full day junior kindergarten.  We were hopeful that this would tire her out but alas it only did so for only one day!  She is the girl who needs very little sleep.  She is enjoying school, which is great.  She really needed more mental stimulation.  Lately she is very outgoing, loves sports, and occasionally doing "speriments" with her brother.  She is taking swimming and dance this fall.  
Aidan is now in Grade 6.  He has taken up piano again and is doing swimming and cubs.  He also just started to play the trombone.
Maya's first day of  J.K.

 She still loves Hello Kitty


She still loves playing restaurant
