Weddings, Weigh-ins & Wonderwomen

A busy 2 weeks means lots of photo ops. It has taken me this long just to sort through the pictures.

First it was Kai's party & her birthday dinner with Bumpa, then Nana arrived for a week and made our lives gloriously easy by taking care of us AND our house. Our freezer is stocked with homemade food & our house is (okay, was) clean like never before.


Last week Jason & Maho arrived for their 2nd wedding on Oct.13 and Auntie Peggy stayed with us. Once again we were all spoiled as Peggy took care of everything around the house & helped me endlessly at the wedding. It turned out beautifully & after a few weeks of chaos and worry leading up to the ceremony, it was a great relief to see it all come together so beautifully.

Now we are looking forward to Grandma Sue's visit next week. The kids are brushing up on their manners - as both are just a little concerned to find out she is the inventor of the "thumping". I'm excitedly anticipating a week of good behaviour.

Mara had her 5 week check-up on Monday & it is evident we've got another rugby player in the making. She is almost 11 pounds and is just 21 inches long. She is two pounds heavier and 2 inches shorter than Kai was at 5 weeks! Oh boy.

Another portrait by Drew. Momma & Mara @ 3 weeks.
So much for being a Spaceman Ballerina - this kid has a ready-made career.


Big brother & Mara in her halloween garb @ 5 weeks.

Kai has rarely taken off her Supergirl costume since she got it.
She has slept in it twice.


A little excited about Kai's birthday cake.

A perfect day for J&M's wedding in our Dad's backyard.

Jason, Maho, Drew & Kai on Sunday night
