An uneventful autumn

We had a decent and slow end to fall this year. It was a relaxing change from last year’s frantic house-selling-and-buying whirlwind.

Halloween was a quiet affair in our new place. Eleven trick-or-treaters came by, most of them from our cul-de-sac and surrounding streets. It was nice to meet more neighbours and equally nice to use our new tiny propane firepit to keep toasty (and roast some marshmallows!).

Shane celebrated his birthday by eating four different types of meals out and about: German, Mexican, Italian, and Thai.

River celebrated his birthday by eating one big meal in: a beef and peanut butter pupcake.

We also went back to Capilano Suspension Bridge, now redone for the Christmas-y Canyon Lights.

And now we are focused on getting ready for a cozy Christmas at home. We hope you are too.

A bright frightful night

We had a delightful visit to Canyon Frights at the Capilano Suspension Bridge earlier this month. River always enjoys our trips to this attraction, since he’s allowed to come along.

Happy Halloween, folks! Enjoy this best of all holidays (I certainly will). =)

Summer sweethearts

Two new dollies made an appearance over the summer here! Meet best friends Jenna (left) and Emma (right):

Jenna is a real outdoorsy girl who nearly always has grass stains on her knees and a dirt smudge on her nose! She loves to be outside no matter the weather, but sunny days are her favourite. You will typically find her climbing trees (especially maples), planting seeds (especially sweetpeas), and finding rocks for her collection. On rainier days, she will impress you with her creative cozy forts and funny knock-knock jokes.

Emma is a super playful soul who is always in search of a friend to play with! She enjoys all sorts of shared fun, from playing board games to solving mysteries to making up stories together about her favourite stuffies. An outgoing girl, Emma can make friends with even the most shy dollies, people, or animals. She is also a total chatterbox with an endless list of interests, facts, and jokes to share. You are certain to find something in common—even if you aren’t her bestie Jenna!
