outdoor adventures with beth...

we are so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful nanny...everyone...meet beth! she is so amazing...and tal LOVES her. we are so lucky!

matteo showing tal the ropes...

play date with matteo...running wild in an open gym!

we had a nice afternoon with matteo and auntie lindsay at the roundhouse drop in. tal was tired before we even got there...and she was pooped when we left! matteo taught tal a thing or two about walking (nearly running actually...man can that little man move!). here are some pics...

a future grocery helper?

tal's bff matteo...he is SUCH a cutie...

this is really fun!

i don't know if you will notice the significance of this photo...but this is a little jay. jay always sticks his tounge to the side of his mouth when he's concentrating. i believe he gets that from nan bevan. tal is definitely her father's daughter ;)

matteo is quite the walker!

our soon-to-be walker ...

happy thanksgiving!

we had an amazing dinner at gill & joe's to celebrate thanksgiving. i am still full! tal had her first piece of pumpkin pie...and loved climbing the stairs and playing the piano. she is on the move!

decked out in fall attire for the big day...

tal loves climbing the stairs

a tiny piece of pumpkin pie...

yum!

I want more!

weekend fun...

it looks as though our nice weather is going to come to an end...so we tried to get a few things done around the house this weekend. we painted our front door a nice wine colour - on the first coat I couldn't believe how easy it was...but the last coat I couldn't feel my hand anymore ;) maggie had a bath and hid from us the rest of the day...and jay is determined to get those deck railings up so he'll be primed for next year's patio season!

doesn't maggie look like she's having fun?

sleepover at the jenkinson's = learning survival skills

we had a very fun night with the jenkinson family...our kids are going to have a lot of fun together in the future! ben and sophie couldn't get enough of tal...she learned some much needed survival skills! can't wait to do it again soon. enjoy the pics...happy thanksgiving!

let us out!

this is a really fun toy!

one of many hugs from ben...
