A Quiet Steady November.


This fall, since moving and settling in we've had some pretty quiet weeks and weekends home, even when family comes to visit.  This seems like a bit of a change for us, but we've been hard hit with colds and flus this year nearly every week and maybe just sporting this ever increasing bump (and the associated tiredness) has forced us to take a much slower pace...  Which is sometimes a little tough.  You know us, we just like to keep going! 

More grandparents in town this weekend!  And we spent time hosting (and being hosted) for dinner, beautiful breakfasts out, carving new paths through the woods at High Park, walks in the cold, cold sunshine (while watching the planes flying ever so close overhead), and reading through old letters addressed to Jordan's grandfather (ones we found stashed away in the old hutch).  It was quiet and close to home, due to another bought of cold/fever for poor Gabriel.  But how lovely for Jordan to spend so much time with his dad and for Gabriel to have his grandparents to cuddle with, play with and have read to him.     

 
Of course, tradition dictates that Saturday mornings MUST be spent at the Yellow Cup Cafe, a favorite of Jordan's grandpa when he was alive. 


Gabriel is "helping" to mark report cards. 


That dimple, it gets you every time!


It was so cold and windy that we broke out the new snowsuit while we went for a bit of a walk.  It was to beautiful to stay inside.....  And the planes were flying so low that we just had to check them out. 


Thanks, family, for coming and spending a weekend with us on the old turf!
