Peanut Gallery

Enjoy!








Happy Halloween!

While this is technically Noah's 2nd halloween, it is the 1st he got to partake in some of the festivities. We got him his 1st costume and went trick or treating for the first time. Pretty fun!


So cute!

We didn't get many trick or treaters, so we had lots of candy.

It's hot in here!

I think he may have had enough.

Not too sure about this house.

Our neighbours.

A successful night!

Noah's 1st Birthday Party!

Who knew a birthday party for a 1 year old could be so much work? But it was all worth it...Noah had a blast and was thoroughly spoilt.

Happy Birthday, Noah!

Preparing the food.

Dad is in charge of safety - especially our stairs.

Since his birthday party was the day before Halloween, we decided to invite people to come in costume. Noah is ready!

It's my party & I will do what I want to.

Noah's 1st Birthday!

We cannot believe a year has past and Noah is now 1!

We had a small celebration this evening with dinner, cake and a few presents before heading off to watch Dad's 1st hockey game of the season. Given it was a late game, we were sure Noah would pass out but since it was his birthday, he decided to stay up until midnight.


Yeah - I'm one.

The boys.

Wearing my birthday dinner.

As excited as I get with flames in front of me.


Oooo presents.

New bike!

Flying High

On the way home, we all had the opportunity to fly Business Class on an Emirates A380. While Noah wasn't on his best behaviour, he did manage to get a behind the counter tour of the A380s business class bar on board.


All aboard.

No wonder he can't sleep...the TV is as big as ours back home.
Business Class bar on board.

Time to sleep.

Yay! Going home.

Our Own Oasis

We were super fortunate to have landed a private pool villa, which not only had its own dip pool but more importantly (when traveling with kids) it had a separate living room, where Noah was able to set up shop.


Getting settled in.

My own pool!

Who wouldn't want a pool right outside their room? Maybe not the most child friendly.

Let me out!

Loving the dip pool.
