Hi hi! These days I seem compelled to start each blog with a "I can't believe how long it's been" but maybe I should just set some new standards or goals for myself with a once a month post (could I do twice a month?). Life is busy - almost to the max - and I'm wondering how I'll do it all next year when I'm working full time. Balance... I'll keep striving for it and do my best to keep a no stress attitude! Here are a few pics of the last few weeks (or more) of our lives...

Halloween 2019! Alana dressed up as a unicorn, I was a mommy unicorn (found a cheap adult-sized costume at the thrift store), Jordan was a robot (homemade costume by Steve the costume master), Hendrik was Harry Potter and Steve was Darth Vader... so fun! It rained all day and wasn't looking good for the evening haunt, but the weather cleared up and everyone and everthing (the candy!) stayed dry. Alana, Jordan and I spent some time at a friend's house before heading out, and after a short circuit Jordan wanted to head to Liz's to help hand out candy and warm up. I took Alana, Abiella, Audrey and another friend out and about and Steve went out with Hendrik, Owen and Owen's mom and met up with another family... and they hauled in the goods! It was fun to see everyone spread out their loot, both under the table (Alana) and at home (all!).

I also haven't blogged about our trip to beautiful BC! Jordan and I spent four days visiting my parents in Comox a few weeks ago, and we had a great time. The weather was amazing, and it was such a nice change of pace to just hang out and explore the local beach, see family, eat great food, and spend some one on one time with Jordan. We left Thursday and came back on a Monday, and then it was back to life as usual with school for me and for Jordan. Next week is my last week of classes and then I'm in a grade 2 French Immersion classroom for three weeks before Christmas break (which, for me, is one week longer than the kiddos). Time, as usual, is flying!
