Well, I guess this is what I get for waiting almost 6 months to update things! Many pics to sift through and have to pick out the highlights....
There was no fear this year at halloween....kids completely 'got' the concept and the distance between houses (and candy!) was covered by sprinting! Ro made for a very cute ladybug!
In October Uncle Chad, Auntie 'Chelle, Kayden and Issy came up for a visit. We opted to head out to a local 'Farm' to check out the Fall celebrations. There were scarecrows (freaked Ro out!), story time, corn mazes and pumpkin cannons! Rowan loves spending this kind of time with her cousins, and has decided that "Isabelle is sooooo cute!" 
In September Ro started preschool! She is attending one day a week, but it is pretty much a full day from 9-3:30. She is loving it and doing really well. And I am loving the free day a week too!
At the end of August, Lena and I packed up the kids and headed home to Cranbrook for a weeks vacation. We had perfect weather the whole time, and were able to enjoy much of the local fun. We checked out waterparks, visited the farmer's market, did some craftwork in the backyard, went to view the Falls in Marysville, and had two wonderfully hot beach days! Kids loved it and it was nice to have the comforts of (Mom and Kasper's!) home to stay in.
Other activities that filled the summer on a day to day basis included hanging at the park...
For Canada Day Ro and I took the LRT down to the legislature grounds and toured around for a bit. Then in the afternoon we hit the Millwoods celebrations for some face painting, castle bouncing, live music and hotdogs :)
