Fall Update

I know that the blog has not been updated for a while but now we are back on line so it is time for some updates.  Between back to school and sickness we have been a bit out of sorts.  I also thought that I had completely lost my camera for about a week (with about 345 photos on it) which literally had me in tears until Katrine found it in a place I had checked twice (my hero!). Hopefully that is the end of that and we are moving on to good things in this new month.  Now, what have you missed?

Obviously, there was back to school.  The girls enjoyed their summer but I think that they were both happy to get back to school and see their friends.  September also brought our yearly trip to the apple orchard and the Autumn Moon Festival which meant waaayyy too many moon cakes for the girls.  We also celebrated our nephew, Charles’, birthday with a trip to Medival Times which was lots of fun as well as gluten free for me!!  It also meant the start of Brownies for Elspeth and two months in, she is LOVING it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October started with Markham Fair where a lot of our gluten free goodies placed in the top ten.  Yippeee!  Most importantly the girls had fun doing the baking but come on, when gluten free goes out and kicks some gluteny butt, it is pretty darn exciting.  I also entered this year and brought home a second place for my GF chocolate cake which tasted heavenly but needed better icing.  Of course, Elspeth turned 7 but that is another post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were also lucky to be able to go to the convention center when the special Lego show was in town.  The girls both had a lot of fun and walked out of the building with sore finger from building so much Lego.  It really got Elspeth’s creative juices going and she has been Legoing quite a bit since.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aside from Halloween, that has been our month.  I will say that I am very proud of how the girls dealt with me being so ill for like two weeks.  It messed with the normal routine.  Thank goodness I have been blessed with them and Glenn because it could have been a lot less pleasant.
