Fav. Pics from July, August and September

So here are the highlights and favorites from the past three months.

Paul made me my birthday cake this year. Since I usually do characters or something on his and the kids cakes he felt he should do the same for me. He asked me what I wanted but I didn't know so he surprised me.


Early in July we took the opportnity to travel to PEI.


This picture was hard to get because there were so many people always going in or posing for pictures.
Paul and kids being scary in the "Haunted Wood" behind Green Gables.

We thought this was amusing. Quite a few trees had names on them but since this was Green Gables I thought I would take a picture. (Unfortunately it was not "spelled with an 'e' ")


We also took the kids to the beach in PEI. It was Reina's first sand adventure. She did not like it and spent most of the day sitting in a beach chair forcing Paul to the towels.
Enoch tried to lay down like he had seen others do, but didn't realize you really DO need to lay on a towel.
We stopped for an emergency diaper change on the way home and the place had this happy blueberry statue. The kids were quite excited.
Just before we moved we travelled down to Lunenburg. While we were there we went to The Ovens. It is a series of caves that the ocean has carved out of the cliffs of the coast. They look like those old fashioned ovens people used to use to make bread, etc. hence the name.
Reina really liked the water and wanted to go in but it was quite cold and overcast, as well as quite a drop to the ocean.
One of my favorites.
We didn't know the Smurfs lived in Nova Scotia but Gargamel must have been busy as we didn't see any of them.
The kids also enjoyed a quick trip to the jail house...
where they joined Paul in jail.
Of course, while there, we saw the Bluenose II.
They were letting people on so we got to tour it a little.
Enoch was excited to try "driving the boat."
And Reina made plenty of fun discoveries.
Reina in front of the Halifax Temple just before we left.
She really wanted to play in this puddle. She kept checking to see if I was watching her, hoping she could sneek in.
Lauryn started Grade 1 once we arrived in Edmonton....
and Eva started Grade 3.


The kids have really been enjoying the new backyard and we are so glad to finally be mostly settled.

So that is basically our last three months.

No pictures of the move but that is probably a good thing. And here is another good thing. Thanks Jo. I love the hat but she would never leave it on. Eva is holding her hands down so we could record that at least she had it on for a few moments.


Hopefully it won't be another threee months before I post again.
