Boys playing their new gaming system. They had no idea they were getting it!

BCC Christmas play. Seth was a sheep and Micah a shepherd.

Daddy had to take Leah out of the school Christmas play. She was just a bit too excited to see her brothers!

Krista - Team Canada in Japan

Team Canada enjoying the Japanese sites.

So nice to return home. Boys are wearing their Japanese headbands, Leah is holding her Hello Kitty purse, and Jonathan is showing the set of chopsticks I gave.

Coach Rick took this picture of me on the tv. I'm getting ready to get the sash from Reid to do my 5 km leg in the race. For a full report, go to: www.kristaduchenerunning.blogspot.com.

November 2012

Poor Leah had a tumble down our stairs a few weeks ago. You can see that she was favouring her left arm (it really hurt to dress her and she often didn't push her hand through her sleeve) and not herself in this picture. Thankfully nothing was broken and she is now feeling much better.

Our kids just love it when Grampa and ...

... Grammy come to visit.

Thanks for the matching sweater and hat, Darla! Everyone loves it.

Enjoying some cotton candy from Coach Rick.

All smiles in her pretty dress.

Holding hands - daddy and his little girl.

Looking for deer...

...while enjoying a walk on the trails ...

...along the Grand River.

Beautiful.

Family, Friends and Fun Times

Happy birthday to Chloe! We had a lovely evening together, celebrating Chloe's 5th birthday with the most delicious Starbucks cake pops (thanks, B). God has done amazing things in this girl's life. "Five and Alive" is what her family calls her, after being told she would not live that long! So glad we have become great friends with this family. Our boys sure love having Jacob as their good friend.

Leah just loves brushing her teeth, and her baby's!

Micah brought this home from school. Cute.

And Seth drew this in Sunday School a few weeks ago.

What a lovely afternoon we had today when the boys returned from school. Raking leaves, playing outside in the warm air (warm enough that Seth took off his shirt!),eating apples, and watching Micah work away at losing his first tooth. See video.
