Crazy Canadians
Those crazy Canadians celebrate their Thanksgiving at the beginning of October. Being the lucky soul that I am, I was invited to come and feast on a fabulous Thanksgiving meal...turkey, ham, rolls, candied yams, pumpkin and apple pie, mashed potatoes, and stuffing....oh the stuffing!Almost a Pumpkin Patch
Dave and I had every intention of taking Audrey to the fabulous Pumpkin Patch in Half Moon Bay. About 15 minutes into the 45 minute drive we heard there was going to be terrible traffic. Just at that moment we saw a sign that said, "Mike's Pumpkin Patch! Turn left!" We looked at each other gave the mutual sign of agreement. Dave pulled into the left hand lane and three seconds later we were at Mike's Pumpkin Patch. While it wasn't up to par with the one in Half Moon Bay, it suited our purposes just fine...Audrey had fun! She was way more interested in the cartoon characters they had around hte pumpkins than the actual pumpkins themselves. When we asked her to pick out a pumpkin, she would look at them, look at us, and say either, "dirty" or "heavy". 100% two year old girl.Audrey's favorite thing about the Pumpkin Patch
Our precious "Little Pumpkin"
Audrey's new uniform
It has been Halloween everyday in our house for the last three weeks. Audrey wants to wear her "Ella dess" every second of the day. Thank you Memor and Fafa for her dress. If I only knew how to wash it... Nike Marathon Finisher!
I finished the Nike Marathon last weekend! Well, not really. Last year, Kelly and I ran the Nike San Francisco Half Marathon together. It was such a bonding experience training for it and running it together. Kelly has moved to Chicago since then, but she came back to run the race. I signed up the Nike Women's SF Marathon before I was pregnant. I wanted to sign up for the Half Marathon, but it sold out in hours. After I found out I was pregnant, I sold my bib. The girl who bought my bib emailed me the week before and told me she hurt herself and couldn't run the race. I told Kelly, and together we decided that we would cross the finish line together again this year! Kelly and her sister Brooke ran the 13 miles and I met up with them for the last .1 mile! My bib said, "Nike Marathon" on it, and I crossed that finish line 20 weeks pregnant without even breaking a sweat! :)

Beach Day. I love when the weather is nice enough to go to the beach. Here is Audrey contemplating if she can handle the feat before her...
Here she is attempting to climb to the top of the sandy hill.
Victorious!
The look on her face says it all...
I am probably the only mother in the world who DOES NOT want her child potty trained. For me, diapers are way more convenient and what am I supposed to do if we are stuck in horrible city traffic and Audrey has to go NOW!!! Lately Audrey has been interested in the potty, and occasionally she goes in it. She is usually way more excited about it than she looks in this picture, but I thought this picture was perfect for describing the way I feel about potty training. Yuck.All girl. I found her in the bathroom "dooen haaiir" (doing hair) wearing her "warwa" shoes (Princess Aurora shoes).
We have had a fun couple of weeks!

I don't recognize Audrey with all that hair! I'm with you on the potty training thing. Diapers are wonderful, and having two in diapers isn't bad at all...I've been doing it for almost 11 months now. Sam showed interest in the potty a few months ago, but now she couldn't care less. We will revisit this maybe in January when she's 2 and a half.
Love the updates. I could look at hours and hours of Audrey pictures. I especially love that you put the things she says in Audrey language and then translate.
I love ALL the pictures--I can't decide which was the most exciting part of your catching up. You guys are so busy!
Hahaha... I'm not the only one playing "catch up"... I loved the pictures... the Pumpkin Patch with the Trailer might be my favourite! Oh wait... the Crazy Canadian (that would be me) entry is definately my favourite...
Cute pics! It looks like you guys are having fun! How is school going? Hope all is well!
So while I was running the Nike last week, Nathan saw someone wearing a shirt that said, "I was supposed to run the Nike Women's Marathon but my husband got me pregnant!" I totally thought of you when he told me! :)
