Nov 2023

November was an uneventful month. Full of school and regular activities. Matthew had to sew on some new badges on his uniform.

We were thrilled to host some cousins for two nights. A first for us!! Jennifer recommended some favourite books.

Evelyn had way too much fun
And the youngest was pampered by us all because she is too cute.
I stepped away with Matthew to take part in the Remembrance Day parade. 


Well, actually, I observed, while he took part.

It was a cold day to be standing still for over half an hour! And then finally the long march back.
Daniel grew a lot. He wanted to show us how much he grew by showing the measuring tape while Matthew took a photo. I'm sure that clears things up for everyone.

We have our Korean friends (minus the dad) over on a weekly basis now. On this particular occasion we are babysitting for the evening while the parents went in for a meeting...to discuss the call to be a co-pastor at our church. He accepted the call so we are thrilled to have our friends stick around in Canada!!
Evelyn playing with the triplets.
Melanie keeping Bona busy.
On a warmer day, Matthew stepped outside to work on his math. The fresh air helped clear his head.
Evelyn still has enough free time to work on crafts.
Melanie fits a bit of schoolwork in during her week. She volunteers once a week at a school...which seems to enjoy more than her work. ;)
The girls working hard. :) After all, we do need to do some actual schoolwork after all those holidays and trips!
Matthew working hard.
I harvested the last of my garden in November. We had a pretty mild fall...and the carrots stayed protected from the frost, being underground. So we enjoyed fresh garden carrots, even in December! Yummy!
