Published!!

Last Christmas Uncle Matt and Auntie Jaynie got the girls a subscription to Clubhouse Jr. magazine. The girls love getting the magazine every month. We often send in a letter to answer the question of the month, in hopes of getting published.

So when this month's issue of the magazine came there was a lot of excitement around here. Our picture and letter was published! 

Ella's original letter said "I like to make smoothies. Ella L. 5 Langley, British Columbia" In the magazine they must have thought her 5 was a 6. Ella's explanation for this was "oh they must have thought I was 6 because I'm standing on the stool and I look so tall."

Psalm 23


I Am

We love the song "I Am" by David Crowder.


And here is Ella and Juliette's version:

Happy Halloween!



Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter Rabbit. Peter wasn't overly thrilled with his costume.





We invited some of our little friends over for a Halloween lunch.


The girls were very into trick or treating this year. They were proud of their costumes and told most people "our brother is Peter Rabbit, and his real name is Peter." 



Counting up the loot. And Ella said "Dadda please don't eat all of our candy when we are in bed". 



Peter and Juju


The other day Juju and Peter were sitting in the same position - legs crossed and all. Juliette requested that I take a picture. And Karis also requested a picture of her and her baby.


Career Day

Last Wednesday was a dress-up day at Ella's community class. The students dressed up as whatever they'd like to be when they got big. Ella dressed up as an author. She wore a shawl, a pearl necklace, and some glasses. She carried around a journal and a pen - in the journal she wrote a list of all the books she has written.
