CHOO-CHOO

 The t-r-a-i-n, shhh I didn't just say that out loud, has become the main attraction point for Sophie. I cannot even drive by the area without hearing a 'choo-choo'. She knows all the grocery stores in proximity to the train. As she wakes up often her first words are 'choo-choo' as if she dreamed about it all night long. It is just a short 7 minute or so ride around the shopping center, however it makes her SO happy! We did it only 5 times last week :)

Friends

Play dates are the best. When you get to pick up random rocks, cool looking sticks, inspect a caterpillar from up close, roll down a hill, feed a goat or two maybe even a donkey and just chatting it up in baby talk. 

How I View Halloween

How I View... Halloween!

12 Month project theme for October is of course halloween/dress up. I only wish I had the idea to step out before it got dark out so I can take a few more decent photos of Sophie in her costume as once it got dark, I couldn't really do much.
Lot's more fun this year then last year and I'm sure next year will be even better. I wonder what went through her mind as she went door to door dressed up in a funny looking costume. She seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, and got very excited with each candy she received however it all came to a sad end when the wear wolf showed up behind her and just totally frightened her. Nothing a little chocolate can't fix though.
The first picture she was so excited about going out, she was looking for her friend to get here so we could leave.

Please go see Nicole and her take on halloween to continue the circle.

Sophie turns 2

I cannot believe 2 years went by already. Two amazing years full of the best times of my life. I wish I could remember every single thing about these years. It only gets better and better. I'm very much looking forward to see who this little girl will become. She already has quite the personality. She is very much her own person and it is the most amazing thing to wake up every morning and see this little sweet face, with a bad case of bed head and see where each day takes us. She is the happy, energetic, fearless, funny, and simply full of joy. She is so very special. 

Vancouver

Vancouver, Vancouver, Vancouver, is there a more beautiful place? hmm.. not so sure. We were there for a month and while I have seen nothing that I have not seen before, every time it is just as breathtaking as the first time. Of course having nothing but sunshine helped tremendously. Seeing my parents for a month was a treat but what was even more fun was seeing how Sophie got so close to them and finally she knows here papa and her baba.
