J3 is now six months old and is still as cute as ever! He is sitting up on his own, has started eating some cereal, and wakes up every morning on his tummy without fail!

Pumpkin party

Since we grew 31 pumpkins and over 200 gourds in our yard this summer, we decided to have a pumpkin party! So, this afternoon, some friends and family came over to carve and paint pumpkins. I think everyone had a great time.

September 1980

As soon as I saw K1's JrK school picture, it reminded me of this one from my Kindergarten days. Do you see any resemblance?

Here is K1's beautiful JrK picture. She is growing up so fast.

A2 was walking around like this. I say, "A2, what are you doing?"

She replies, "I am being Joseph."

Lost and Found

Why am I posting a picture of a small red wallet? Glad you asked. You see, in July of 2006, we were visiting my brother-in-law on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. We were walking through downtown when I stopped in the town's public park to use the restroom. This little wallet was on top of the paper towel dispenser.

I opened it up, and saw a wad of cash inside, with no identification. So, I walked across the street to the police station (yes, it was literally right across the street!) and turned it in. We left them my brother-in-law's phone number, since we live quite far away. They said if no one claimed it after 90 days, they would call, and it would be mine.

I marked 90 days on the calendar, which came and went. Then, this August, we called my brother-in-law for his birthday and he said, "Guess who I got a call from today." Of course, it was from the police station and they said no one had claimed the wallet, so it was mine! (I am not sure why it took 13 months for them to call, but it was a huge surprise.)

The wallet had (are you ready?) - $175 CDN in it!

That is why I posted a picture of the little red wallet.
