Leaf Play

It's been great to have a week at home.  The last 3 weeks, I have had more trips away than at home.  One to Lethbridge when my sister visited and 3 trips to Kalispell.

The grandkids have been off school yesterday and today because of teacher meetings.  It was beautiful out yesterday and they came to rake leaves. The big kids do an awesome job.  Not sure about coop, but he likes to play in the leaves.

Canadian Thanksgiving!

I make sure my family celebrates Canadian Thanksgiving! It is one tradition I have kept going since coming to the States! They are pretty pumped about a turkey dinner with all the trimmings! Caitlin now hosts her own Canadian Thanksgiving in Seattle with many of her friends. Last evening enjoyed the company of Kirsten and her family and also friends Robyn and Walter. They have joined our celebration for the last few years.



It was a yummy meal!
It was also my sister's birthday. Hope she had a wonderful celebration! We enjoyed her company the last few days of September.


Last week I spent a few days in Kalispell attending a nursing conference at the Rocky Mountain Childbirth Conference! It was very informative. Here it is only the 10th of Oct and I have spent 5 of those days there and about to head over for one more trip.











The trees and the mountains were looking pretty spectacular on the drive over!

One of the trips was so Kirsten's kids could visit their great grandparents! They had a ball!!!
The drive gets a little ling being 4 hours!







We mad a short stop in Glacier National Park! The Going to the Sun Road remains closed due to wildfire activity!


The fires are pretty much contained, but you can see in the photo below that they are still smoldering!


And I actually got to scrapbook
A page the other day!!!
