Fun in the leaves....

I wish you could photograph the sound of crunching through the Fall leaves.....and the sound of the girls giggling as they threw leaves at each other!

Our Annual Fall Walk......

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day - it was 20c at Elk Island Park....just BEAUTIFUL! Every year around this time, we drive out to Elk Island Park and walk the same trail - the Beaver Pond Trail - and stop frequently along the walk to take our Fall pictures.

I love that this has become a family tradition. I love that we can look back on years past and see the children posing on the same old logs and by the same pretty trees. We have pictures with just four children, pictures with Sam in the sling and pictures with all 5 children.

The Beaver Pond Trail is such a great trail for photographs, with rocks positioned nicely, old logs just perfect beside Fall foliage...and lots of dry leafy trails for the children to play in.

I hope we come back here for many years and slowly add girlfriends and boyfriends, husbands and wives.....children and grandchildren to the pictures!

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you All!

It's Thanksgiving Day here in Canada, the first and original Thanksgiving :) Thanksgiving Day is a bigger holiday than Christmas to many Canadians and is very much a family day!

I can't wait until we have Grandchildren and Thanksgiving becomes a big family holiday for us too! But for now, we have a quiet day relaxing at home, a large Christmas style dinner followed by delicious Pumpkin Pie with cream :)

Over dinner, we take it in turns to tell each other what we are most thankful for this year. So, what are you Thankful for?

Happy 1st Birthday Little Guy!!!!

Have lots of fun and cuddles and cake today :)

Lots of love from
Jane and your breakfast buddy Sam!!!!!
