Live it!

Loving Luca

Luca has found his way into all our hearts and we are loving having a kitty cat in the house. Even Henry (after the initial hyper excitement of a new friend) has adjusted and I think he is liking having a partner in crime at home. Luca is full of mischief but also loves to cuddle. He has taken to wanting to sleep with Shaune at night but gets up at 530am to 'play' and then gets promptly kicked out of the room. The kids all love him, especially Chloe who still carries him everywhere and treats him like her own little baby doll. She is cat-crazy! Meg follows Luca around all day saying "here itty, itty" and calls him "Uta" instead of "Luca".

Adorable.

 
 

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a busy and beautiful weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving 2010. The weather could not of been more amazing and we managed to pack 4 turkey dinners into a 3 day holiday. Wow! I for one am finally all turkey'd out.

Saturday we were able to get back for our annual haywagon ride around Fraser Lake in Boulter. The sun shone and it wasn't as cold of a ride as it usually is. This was Meg's first time as we were at a hockey tournament last year and missed it. My family is amazing and I think about 55 people were there to celebrate together. We had an amazing feast after our haywagon ride and Uncle Milton had a bonfire set up to keep warm as the sun went down. It was a perfect day!

Sunday Keaton and Shaune had a hockey game so I had the girls and we celebrated the Emerson Thanksgiving at Aunt Ann and Uncle T's. Gram has not been feeling well at all but managed to come to the lunch and visit with everyone for a few hours. She is amazing. After lunch we celebrated again in at The Lightfoots where we got to meet our new neice for the first time. Maya is beautiful and I am taking her photos later this week, as soon as I can get rid of my head cold. Another tasty meal. On Monday we farted around the house mostly and then Mom made a 'drive thru' turkey meal that we enjoyed before Keaton went off to power skating for the night.

... Monday night was spent lying on the sofa and pledging to start that diet now that turkeyfest is over. Gobble Gobble.

I only busted out the camera for the haywagon ride:

 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 

Sugar Pie

Meg is doing so good. She has grown and flourished so much this past year... she is becoming a little toddler full of personality and not much baby is left in this adorable girl. She is almost 22 months old now and she is incredibly smart and sweet and tender and tough all rolled into one. At home she talks NON STOP and last night she said, for the very first time: "I wuv eww, Momma"! She is easily stringing 2-3 word sentences together and is such a parrot - repeating everything she hears.

She still loves her time with mommy and she is getting lots of that now that K  & Chloe are back in school. I took these photos of her a while back. Cuteness!
