Halloween 2019

We didn't get to party with Koji this Halloween, but we had the pleasure of running into him on the Ave. So good.

 Chi as Mathilda (of Mathilda and Leon) - nailed it. Sav revisited Mary Queen of Scots, and Mac is a ninja, running around the Ave collecting candy.

Mac running wild with the neighbourhood boys

 The stashes. One house- 6 full size chocolate bars. SIX. Uplands, baby!

Grade 7

Two months into grade 7, and she's still standing!

 

Cabin Progress (Question Mark...?)

Cracking eggs to make an omelette.

Well, the new ladder is awesome.

Thankful for...

Thankful for this crew:

And for neighbours who host Thanksgiving parties that are as good as this place setting would suggest!--

Shark Wrote a Book!

You might remember!? The bestseller, the Quintland Sisters. (She is in Hong Kong right now, reading from her book as I type!)

Well, she had another event up in Kelowna and how could we resist when she invited some of her mates up for a weekend of reading, riding, and wine! Thank you, Shark and Ty!

 
So I had not seen Bev in way to long. Does that excuse me for having rubbed her girlfriend's belly at Shark's event (her girlfriend, whom I had only just met)? I think so.

 

Cross Country

Think Mac digs the after snacks more than the racing. Next year, we might race the clock rather than the crowd. 

We love having you in YYJ, Chi!

Chi is practicing her driving and is doing great.

 She'll be able to buy her own car soon, working shifts at Estevan's Sunday's Child!

Brother Sister Cuddles

At cross country and back at the house. These rare moments are LOVELY.

 

Fall Camping

We love the lake, rain or shine!

 
 

Cousin Love - a Special Night with Relatives from Far and Wide

It was all going so well, until I splattered plumb sauce everywhere...

 And then this happened and-- forget the plumb sauce-- sh*t really got weird:
 

Nana's Birthday!

Fun times at the pool hall (since Nana CANNOT have her pool table at the cabin:)

 
 
 
 

 Cake by Savvy!

Scout cuddles after present time. Blink twice if you need help, Scout!

A wee bit of Rocket

Yes, he climbs trees.

 

Hope Street Ball 2019

So many pics to choose from during the illustrious 2019 Hope Street Ball. What fun fun FUN!
Starting with the babushka look, progressing to tapas and a few beverages, and landing in Klynnie's beautiful hot tub, it was quite the night.
I may or may not have had a tantrum on the walk home later that night?

Don't we all look so pretty?



We can still pull off a posh night, can't we Dob?

Are we embarrassed by K, or he by us? I think the former!

 Emma mocking Koji. This one never grows old.

Yes, we do draw a bit of attention going from venue to venue...

 Leaving the Empress after a toe incident and much, much popcorn.

 Stand aside, Ellen!

 Parliament loveliness, and now Emma feels badly for mocking Koji.

 Sister love!
