The Rainbow fairy

SEPTEMBER

Ready for school


Rivi chose the fabric, designed the dress,
and did a lot of the sewing.


A lovely Sunday (today)...


for a walk on the Grand River Trail.

Kyri turned 3 on Saturday...


and started Preschool today.

Two girls


Summer time


More sunshine


Garden fairy

Collecting sunshine

Most importantly...

we celebrated Rivi's 5th birthday!


"just what I wanted, a pearl ring"


and overnight, she grew


and what a celebration is has been.

We've also...

painted the walls pink,


replaced old carpet,


gardened


and gallumphed

Since we've been home, we have...

located cannolis (and cappuccinos)


had a haircut


dressed as a teletubby


dressed as a princess

Out for a walk on a rainy afternoon

"I love my daddy"

Pisa, Italy

Yes, it really does lean and so does Rivi's icecream


Ew, the carcass of a lizard. Much more interesting than a leaning tower


Surreal


And even better than the lizard...a hanging chain (for a balance beam of course!)

Edinburgh, Scotland

We were only there for an hour or so, but we saw enough to know we want to go back

Newcastle upon Tyne, England

Pulling the tea drinking tigers tail


Little miss
