New look
My blog and website are being merged, here! All my blog posts and comments have been moved over already, but my travel photos are likely to reappear later this week.

Snow Day
Mara and I were supposed to go to a class this morning, but it got cancelled due to weather. So this is Mara’s first official snow day! The snow has been falling constantly, and she really loves watching it out the window. Mara also spent a bit of time playing on her own, which I appreciate (when it happens!).
To Alberta and back
Mara was a model baby on the trip to Alberta last week. Travelling with our stroller wouldn’t have been practical, so we were lucky that Mara finally started to enjoy being taken along in the baby carrier.
Here we are in the food court at the West Edmonton Mall:
The temperature was much colder than we’re used to (so far this fall, at least). Minus 38! Mara wasn’t impressed with being bundled up, but she loved visiting with all her cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends of the family we introduced her to in Red Deer and Calgary.
Little pea in a pod
Mara got to dress up as a pea in a pod for her first Halloween. She showed off her costume at her dad’s office on Friday and everyone thought she was incredibly cute. Back into costume again last night, to greet the few trick-or-treaters that came our way (the last batch of kids to come to our door were actually dropped off by minivan, and each one of them said to me “Oh, you have a baby!” — Mara was making some noise in the living room at that point).
James carved our classic pumpkin:
Afternoon sunshine
This photo was taken two weeks ago:
Earlier that day we had tried to get Mara to pose for photos with her arms like this, chin propped on folded hands, with no luck. Later that day she figured it out on her own and I managed to take a picture.
