A busy month, as usual. The three big highlights from October were: My youngest brother Zain getting engaged (boy, does that make me feel old)... congrats Zain and Aliza. Moving on up to the toddler room at daycare. The transition has been great for Samarah and she's been able to pick up a lot of positive things from the older kids in the new room. Our fabulous road trip to New Hampshire (via Thousand Islands and Lake Placid). If I had to guess Samarah's favourite part of the trip, it would be a toss up between seeing the cats ("meow-meows" as she calls them) in Gananoque or meeting Melissa and Feargal's dog Happy in New Hampshire. Halloween: Samarah finally got to wear her cow costume! She was supposed to wear it last year but we were in California at the time and it was too hot for it. The costume was a bit tight, but Samarah looked adorable (of course). Here are some of the photos - enjoy!
