November

Okay, I know I am behind but things are just so busy around here. all. the. time.
Here are some images to catch you up on November!

This was a day early in November when we went to Red Wood Park.  The leaves were everywhere and Nathanh enjoyed running into them.  We were last there in the summer with Nana and I was amazed when we went back to the tree house in the park Nathanh associated it with Nana. 




November 9th marked our one year anniversary together as a family.  We got together with three of the other families that we travelled to Vietnam with and celebrated our first Family Day.  We went to a toddler play centre and then out for a Vietnamese dinner.  I have only posted pictures of Nathanh here but I have to comment that I love that the kids all know each other.  Nathanh knows exactly who I am talking about when I mention the other kids' names and he is so comfortable with them and their parents.  I am so glad that they will always have a special connection with each other.







These next few are just random shots from throughout the month.
In Daddy's shoes...

I signed Nathanh and I up for evening swim classes.  It didn't work out too well.  This pool was colder that the other pools we've been too, thus he shivered and clung to me most of the time.  The chlorine levels were also off and caused Nathanh to get a bad rash unless he showered for about 20 minutes after each lesson.

Nathanh piling his stuffed animals into his chair and then sitting on them...love!

Outside in the leaves with his caregiver...my guess is a plane was going overhead!
The first of the Christmas parties!  This one was with other families from around the Lower Mainland that have adopted from Vietnam.  It was a great evening with the Vietnam Families Group, however, it was not a great night for Nathanh.  He was VERY clingy that night and would not let me put him down.  I had made the turkey for the dinner and poor Erwin had to run around following my instructions because Nathanh was not being one bit cooperative.

Erwin dressed up as a bird for a little play.

This was the only was Nathanh would go near Santa.
And that was November in a flash!  Now that I am on holidays, perhaps I will manage to get a few more posts up for December!  We'll see...
