This was the sight on campus 2 days ago - I stole the picture from my friend Alicia. Isn't it beautiful?!

Myra loves playing in the "no, no" :D (she can't seem to say the "s" in snow - LOL)

It's a rainy drizzly grey day today. Makes me homesick for BC. :D

Good news! I start my new job on Dec. 1st. :D It's a nursing position on a very very small pediatric unit - night shifts from 5 pm - 5 am - 2 shifts per week. I'm actually looking forward to working again - except for the night shift part - but we'll manage.





Myra's communication skills are improving daily. Here is a snapshot of our mornings this week....

1. Myra wakes up and calls "Daddy, Daddy" (which in this case means 'i'm awake, come and get me')
2. I nudge Tim to see if he could get her out of bed - hoping I can sleep for another 30 - 60 min.
3. Tim gets Myra out of the crib.
4. Myra says "mamma?"
5. Myra runs into our bedroom, to my side of the bed, and says "Mamma!" "Down, Down" while pointing to the carpet with her finger (meaning 'put your feet on the carpet and come with me please/get out of bed')
6. So CUTE and disappointing all at the same time ... no sleeping in for me... :D

Well that's all for today,
Until next time....

Auntie Rosanna came for a visit this week - it was WONDERFUL! Mostly we shopped, enjoyed treats, and savoured the opportunities to be in each other's company.

Here's Myra coming in for a kiss "mmmmaa"



Modelling some new clothes :D





On Wedesday we took Myra for her first haircut. I chose a place that was specifically for kids but in the end she cried with fear the entire time anyways. It probably would've helped if the 1) the boy in the other seat wasn't also crying very loudly and 2) if the hairdresser had taken the time to actually make eye contact with Myra, introduce herself, show Myra the cape before just coming from behind to put it on her...etc. Thankfully, once the haircut was over, the tears resolved fairly quickly. :D

Here are two short videos...feeling so sad :(





Post haircut....



Hope you have a relaxing weekend - it's supposed to snow here so that should be exciting :D
