Changing Weather

We were graced with such beautiful weather this past weekend but now it's fall in full swing. The heat is on and jackets need to be worn :( The rockies are nice and white capped.

So what's been going on with us?

Cynthia started dance class 2 weeks ago and is loving it. She is in a ballet, jazz, tap class. It's so cute to see her all dressed up in her pink outfit.





Cynthia also asked to have her ears pierced so we did that on Sunday - She looks too adorable... I don't have a picture other than the one I posted via webcam on facebook.



Zoe went for her 2 month check up a few weeks late, she is growing well and is above the 97% for her height and above the 75% for her weight. At 2 1/2 months she was 13 Lbs and 2 feet tall ( 24" long ).... She's already out grown all her 6 month PJ's and is now filling in the 9 month ones. She is changing so much every day - she now can sit in the bumbo and in the saucer for short periods of time without falling over because her neck is strong.



She also has started laughing when you tickle her, and she loves to babbal. Next week is vaccine week ... so not looking forward to that but it must be done.

Last weekend we went kite flying for the first time with Cynthia, and she loved it.







This weekend if it's nice ( calling for showers ) we were planning to go to the Calgary Corn Maze, they have a ton of activities for kids including pumpkin picking and a petting zoo so I'm crossing my fingers it'll be nice because I know that Cynthia really wants to pick a pumpkin for herself and Zoe.

Claude has taken some time off work ( Bell MTL ) to take a 2 week contract working for SAIT (the polytechnic school) as a teacher..... He's still looking for the right job.

Lastly we are happy to announce that we have booked our trip to the Dominican Rep for Chantal and Ben's wedding in Jan. We couldn't do it the traditional way with the rest of the wedding party, but we are still going so that's what counts. Cynthia is already excited to go swim with the dolphins.

1st Dentist Apt

Cynthia had her first dentist appointment today - I wish I had brought my camera because it was too funny to see her.

She was sitting in the big chair by herself, wearing sunglasses and earphones watching cartoons from a TV in the celing.



The dentist said she has good teeth and no signs of any cavities :0) She was given a new toothbrush, some flossy thingy's and she was given a token so she can choose a toy from the dispensor.... wild guess on what she choose .... a dinosaur. We also entered her in the draw for movie tickets bbecause she had no cavities :0)

She was so proud to show off her polished teeth when we left.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO YOU....

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Bithday too you !!!!!


Happy Birthday Claude!

Designer Challenge

As a Srapbookers Paradise winner last week for my "First Moments" layout I was invited to be a guest on the DT for the Scrapbookers Paradise #32 challenge.

The Challenge was to be inspired by this photo :



This was my take on the challenge :

GERMS!

As everyone knows sending a kid to daycare / school is a receipe for GERMS ... this time Cynthia brought us the Common Cold.

She started sneezing last Thursday so I decided to keep her home on Friday after she had a bad night of sleep and waking up all congested... maybe it was a bad idea... come Sunday Claude was feeling like a freight train had run him over... come Monday I was the same and then poor Zoe got it too! With Zoe being so young the only thing we could do was hope that she didn't get a fever.

Cynthia is doing fine, Claude, Zoe and I are still coughing a bit and blowing our noses but it looks like we survived *lol*

Finally after waiting a whole month we have recieved our Alberta Health Care Cards so now I can feel aat ease knowning that if anything happens I can head over to the clinic and not have to paay anymore ( god knows I'm still waiting for cheques from the RAMQ on apts that I had for myself, Cynthia and Zoe May through July ) BRUTAL!

Oh and I almost forgot ....

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND COMING UP!

Claude's B-day is tomorrow... and in true KD style I ordered something online for Claude and because his shoes arrived at the same time it was hard to explain to him why the box was so big... lol... so I gave him his B-day present early - A nice Fox Winter Jacket :0)

Saturday happens to be my BIG 3-0! I can't believe I'm going to be 30 this year... OMG does time fly! We have a family photo shoot planned courtosey of my favorite photographer "Andrea Wiseman"

Playing in Paradise

This weeks challenge was an easy one for me as I have a ton of flowers and the challenge was to use flowers on a creation. There are a few Birthday's coming up so I decided to make a Birthday Card.

2 Months Old

Zoe is now 2 months old - Holy does time fly.
She's growing like a weed - She can now hold her head up a bit longer so she seems to always want to be sitting up. Her nights have been good - down between 9pm and 10pm and will sleep until 4am on most nights.

She's also growing fast that she has out grown all her 3 month stuff already. She is a bit on the chubbier side than Cynthia was but that's okay.

Her eye color is still not confirmed but it's leaning on a grey green / grey brown.

It hasn't been all that warm here lately so we had to dress Zoe up with a sweater. She's my little gnome.
