Cliff Colin and Laura survived a wet night out in the tent. Colin was good and cozy in his sleeping bag.

Backyard tent time again. Laura is all gung-ho for a back yard sleep out, despite it being only 10c out tonight.

Since I missed posting for a couple of days I figured I should put a second post up today.
It’s been a quiet afternoon here with Laura fighting a fever and Colin fighting a stuffy nose. A game of Princess Yatzee is just what the doctor ordered.

We have been neglecting our poor birds just as the weather is getting colder. Time to clean and refill.

Our little girl turned 8 today! She really enjoyed her day and all the thoughtful gifts.
Here she is with her new fashion plates, science experiments (thank you Will and Mary), and showing off her new night dress.

We went to visit MacDougall today. He is going through heart worm treatment right now, but is most likely going to join our family just in time for Christmas!

Laura was very excited to open the lovely, thoughtful presents from her friends. She spent the day drawing, building Lego, playing games, and we had to install a bike seat for Katie her doll. Very thoughtful gifts.

Laura had her birthday party tonight. All the kids had a great time playing games, running wild, eating homemade pizza and cake, and doing a great treasure hunt. The parents survived.

Shhh! It’s a surprise cake for Laura. I think she’ll love it!
