Our little Ollie is going to be 9 months in 4 days. He's about 8 months in these pictures and continues to bring us pure joy! He's crawling, has four teeth with a couple more on the way, he's pulling himself up and travelling along furniture. He loves to empty boxes and scour the floor for stray pieces of lego. His nights are hit and miss, currently there have been more "misses" then "hits" but we have high hopes for him this coming month. One of his favourite hobbies if eating. He'll eat anything you throw his way, which we have been having a lot of fun with. Chicken wings and pickles anyone?

Last month the kids started school and we have not looked back since. Jordan is loving her grade 3 class. Every day when I pick her up to school, I ask her " How was your day?" and I am always greeting with "It was great!" with a huge smile. She has so many great ideas and always has some type of project on the go. She's been busy with birthday/halloween/swimming parties (Jared and I are starting to feel like her social coordinators!), indoor soccer and piano.

Here's our Kindergartener! Nate has been off to a great start but this morning we had a conversation that went something like this: "Mom, I want a girlfriend." Me "Well can I be your girlfriend?" Nate "No, you already have a boyfriend and Lucy is too little and Jordan is too big." He did however have some ideas from his primary class though. Hmmmmm.

Our little Luberry Jam has started a little preschool class called "Paint n Play." It's once a week and she has embraced it wholeheartedly. She comes home with a pile of little crafts from the day, proud as punch. We've been having a great fall together as the big kids are at school. One of her favourite activities is to visit the pet store and play with the kittens. They are kept in a seperate little room that's pretty hard to get in and out of without opening the door fully. As a result, there have been several occasions where I've had to chase those dear little kitties that have escaped all over the store, while holding Oliver of course.

Jar had a birthday and we partied like rockstars at BP with the kids. After dinner he had volleyball, so we all went and watched him do his favourite thing ever...hitting volleyballs really hard. Love you babe.

We went to Maple Ridge for Thanksgiving to visit the Leleuxs. We're so happy that they live so close to us now, what a great place to visit. It was such a nice relaxing weekend with such delicious food.

How can you get mad at this face? Quite easily it turns out. Our little three year old is bursting at seams with personality and definitely knows what she wants but we sure do love her!
