The Bright Side

Esmé was playing with buttons from my sewing kit button jar, and kept accidentally dropping them on the floor.  As she crawled under the table to pick them up for the hundredth time, she called out to me,  "I'm such a good dropper!"

That was the best positive spin I've ever heard.

Us











A HUGE Thank you to my pregnant photographer, Sarah Evans, who at one point was actually lying on the sidewalk, camera in hand.  It was a struggle to decide which photos to post, they were all so beautiful I just wanted to upload them all!

Turkey Strike

This year for Canadian Thanksgiving I cleaned, dressed, and cooked a large turkey.  Even though it turned out great, I was emotionally scarred by the huge bird carcass and told Kyle that next time he had to do the cleaning and dressing.

We had bought two turkeys while they were at a good price so decided to cook one up for American Thanksgiving as well.  And so now it was Kyle's turn.  He only got to the cleaning part before he had to quit, now also emotionally scarred by Big Bird's dismembered neck and large folded wings.

I guess we will be having vegetarian Thanksgivings from now on...  unless we can later convince our kids to clean and cook the turkey for their wimpy parents!
