"N" ended and enjoyed!

This week was full of "N" fun. We ate nachos, neapolitan ice cream, and more noodles. We read the Nanaimo News, made lots of noise, did lots of negotiating, always normal with kids! We drove on roads with names like Norwell, Newcastle, and Northfield.

Jacob helped Daddy with putting in some nails:


I took a sunset drive-by photo of the sign that greets visitors to our fair city:

We had a nice visit with a family friend named Aunt Nancy (she has known me since I was younger than Madison is now!):

After a month-long hiatus from reading chapter books, Mads is hooked again, this time with the Nancy Drew Notebooks series:

We watched "Nanny McPhee":

Jacob coloured 3 Nascar colouring pages during church:

For the first time, we visited the Rathtrevor Nature House and attended one of their nifty nature presentations:

A rare family photo - we were all wearing navy blue t-shirts this day, and standing on a navy blue E&N train:

We looked at lots of "N" library books:

And listened to "N" CDs, also:

Mads played with her friend who is our next-door neighbour:

I continued to enjoy reading a blog about baby Nella:

We visited Nellie's Deli for lunch:

Mads ate Nerds while wearing her Nerds shirt:

We made nest crafts:

I wore a new necklace:

We took raspberry newton cookies to church:

We finally set up Jacob's new train set:

We had a nice visit with family, that included Uncle Norman and his son Nick:

Madison wore a new Noah's ark necklace to church:

This week, a major event was that Mads received a note from the Queen! She wrote to her months ago when we were learning about Canada:

Jacob's best bud was set on "nuggying" him (AKA snuggling):

I indulged in a night-time snack:

And finally, this is Jacob saying "no more pictures, Mom!":


A few things that we didn't get to were watching "Finding Nemo", taking a little ferry over to Newcastle Island, and visiting Neck Point Park.
