Middle of September

Can you believe it's the middle of September already? WOW! Before we know it, it will be Christmas! YAY :)

Here are some pictures from the 'Play area debut'...

I realize the date/time stamp is a little hard to read but the three pictures above were taken at 2:41, 2:42 and 2:43. Rachel just couldn't decide what to do downstairs - there were too many options!

Natalie gave her approval by clapping her hands

It was a little chilly down there so we put some jackets on.

I hate how Blogger automatically turns my pictures because of the time/date stamp. Oh well.

There's even room for Rachel to ride one of her trikes. She's getting pretty good at it. She can reach the pedals and she knows what to do in that respect - it's the steering that is a bit of an issue. She has all winter to figure it out though.

Time for a cup of tea with her doll 'Dady'

Pretending to sleep in her new 'sleepover bed'. She just loves it!! I guess we'll see how much she really loves it this weekend though. We're heading to Toronto to meet our friends new baby, Nadia and then we're going to my in-laws after that and spending the night since we have my nephews 2nd birthday party on Sunday. The price of gas has come down thankfully (it was $1.39/L which is about $5.25/gallon). Now it's around the $1.28/L and I'm hoping it's even cheaper by tomorrow or Friday when I'll need to fill up. Anyway, we thought with the price of gas and the amount of time we'll be spending in the car this weekend, we would cut out some travel time and stay at the in-laws. Plus this way we'll get to have a good visit with them.

Last but certainly not least...Natalie with her beautiful smile/laugh
