Here are a few (well, more than a few) pics of what we were up to in October:

Layla on the zip line at Squalicum Park 


Outside Claire’s 
Apple snacks 
With Mary 

I sold our sofa, and the couple came after dark to collect it. Jonathan was out of town for work and I felt a little vulnerable having them come, so I texted a neighbor so she knew what was up. 
Little did I know, Avery overheard me and was prepared to apparently attack with the large flashlight and/or call the cops! 
Layla at preschool 
With Addie 
And at the park later 
Sleeping baby 
Another day 
Avery took this one with his iPhone 
Look who got into the bathroom drawers! Not sure what she’s doing to her babies! 

Snuggles 
Avery, making himself useful 
Layla playing fetch with our neighbor’s dog, Molly. Molly can outlast any human. 

I freaked out when I checked on Layla during nap/quiet time and discovered this! 
Kieron and Silas came to the rescue. I think they freaked a little too! 

Only took 45 minutes to clean up! 
Layla with Auntie Anne 
She let Anne do pigtails while they were together
