Fall...(and apparently we've now jumped straight into winter)

Although we currently have a foot of snow on the ground, and have already been sliding, it's still supposed to be fall (especially since we still haven't celebrated Hallowe'en!)

The crazy times continue, with the loss of dear Grampa Ron, but we've done our best to have smiles and fun times as a family amidst the toughness.

In Toronto a few weeks ago for the funeral, of course we had to ride the subway. As much as possible. Destinations are a side point.

(this is Cadence practising balancing on the train; he did quite well hands-free too. A true commuter-in-training.)



...and play at the playground on the way to the subway. As much as possible.


...and play with family, as much as possible :)

Family baseball game in KL at Thanksgiving. Tofu wouldn't heed the rules of the game (i.e. leave the ball alone especially when the bat was swinging) so he had to be fastened to the dymond. Not pleased.



Beginning preparations for Hallowe'en: making and then hanging two ghosts outside. (They are now completely buried by snow.) Stay tuned for pumpkins & our wee little lion...

September

All this feels like it was AGES ago, likely because we're wearing t-shirts & it's sunny out in these pictures, but now we're wearing winter boots, hats & mittens. Boy oh boy.

Cadence and Drew did a great job washing the car, then he did us the favour of taking a pic of mom & dad


Hike one nice afternoon in the backyard




On our way to the fall fair, we stumbled on a corn booth fundraiser. Three cheers for street food other than cheeseburgers & poutine!


Watching the fair parade

Drew & Cadence went on the big slide. Super fun...can't wait til winter sliding season!!


Cadence & I rode on the strawberries; we were in with two other kids who were making it spin as fast as they possibly could and Cadence absolutely loved it.
