Scarecrow Kisses

Fresh picked apples, cool crisp air, scarecrows and pumpkins.

A beautiful Sunday.

 Mom, did you know Dad and I just picked this from the neighbours tree.

 It's a little sour, but I don't mind.

Scarecrow, this apple is really good.

I think I will let you try.

No...maybe a hug instead!

Nope, going in for the kiss.

Umm, interesting nose.

Oops, it comes off!

It's ok, I'll just kiss it and make it better.

 Mom, I don't want to have my picture taken her on the step.

 I really want to get going.

 Sorry Jack, you know I am a dewie dew!

and I am off!

A beautiful day at the park

Fall is here!

All the leaves have changed and the nip in in the air.

 It is definately sweater weather and a great day to go to the park.

Oh the wax!

Jane has had an ongoing problem with wax build up.

 It was hooked out by the ENT specialist on her initial visit to the children's hospital last December and I have been treating her ears with various solutions to keep them clear even since.

She runs, hides and shakes her head no when she sees me coming with the Tylenol dropper now.

 She is so over the peroxide, olive oil, vinegar, water, and stool softener I have been dropping in there.

On this visit to the hospital, I requested the hook again.

It was not pleasant!

 A nurse and I had to hold her down while the doctor hauled massive amounts of the blackest wax I have ever seen, out of her little ears.

Apparently she has tiny ear canals, I don't think they are problem tiny, just tiny.

Then it was off for the hearing test. Above she is watching Diego while big brother Josh is tested. She was not interested in having a hearing test done. We got the right side done while she was watching TV but no luck with the left, maybe on next visit!

Where's the TURKEY!!

This past weekend was Thanksgiving in Canada. 

We went to the cottage with great friends and had great times!

The Scrabble competition was fierce! Josh and Caro...Wow! 

Roo and  Nina

Jack diggin' in!

Kiddies fed...time for the adults now. I cooked a huge turkey and I deleted the picture!

Josh got all dressed up for the occasion!

Daddy and his baby girl.

We had a great night with our friends.

All the children told us what they were thankful for.

 I ask them every year and video tape it. It is very enlightening, sometimes funny and always sweet.

 Everyday we all have so much to be thankful for.

I

have so much to be thankful for.

Our lives have changed so much in the last year.

At this time last year, I was getting ready to go to China.

I was so ready to meet my daughter.

I was on top of the world.

This year, I am to the moon and back!

Jane fills our days with love and laughter.

She is a dream come true.

I am so thankful she has joined our family.

She  is the missing link, the void that is filled, she is our everything.

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.
