Santa Clause Parade

Just like last year, we made it to the start of the parade in order not to miss the Fire Engines!

It was flipping COLD!

Sonja was the most comfortable of all of us...

The family - die Familie

Sonja can smile!

I just got out of the shower when she decided to show us some smiles! The camera doesn't show it here, but her eyes remain bright, dark blue.

Eben kam ich von der Dusche als sie uns ihr lächeln zeigte! Zwar zeigt es diese Foto nicht, aber ihre Augen bleiben bis heute dunkelblau.

Chubby

Yes, I am a chubby girl now! 6 weeks and counting!

One of a kind Christmas craft show

Grosmami bought this for me....gingerbread lollipop. This is all that's left of it.

Drywall!

Bob's truck with the drywall....FINALLY!

First you do the ceiling...then you add the walls....

...and on the other side, Benjamin's toolbox! Apparently he's been busy down there...

Home from school

Winter has arrived.

Mit Eiswürfel spielen - Ice cube fun

Here is my solution to the "But I don't wanna have a baaaathhh" whine. Some coloured ice cubes, made with food colouring, and the entire bath time turns into a science project.

Wenn er sich mit lautem Gebrüll weigert, zu baden, dann gebe ich ihm farbige Eiswürfel zum spielen...

Friends!

Benjamin has Ellie to play with, and I have Nikolas! Nikolas is exactly one month older than me. We are going to have so much fun together...

My baby sister! Mein Schwesterchen!

Happy 70th Birthday Nonno!

It's MY birthday too!

Hey, you!

Halloween!

The cat balloon is from Uncle Silvio and Auntie Jody. The the pumpkins he picked out at the apple farm with Grosmami and Nonno...this is in Oakville at his grandparent's house, while Silvio and Jody were visiting with Liam.


This little fireman outfit comes from a little boy up the street who also visits the Montessori school. Ben loved going out at Halloween, and at every neighbour he knew unpacked his bag to show what he had already collected...then, he and daddy gave out candies to the rest of the kids.
