Getting Closer...

We're getting closer to a lot of things right now. Its typically not my favourite time of year.   Contrary to most who love the colours of Fall I always relate this time of year with dying.  The dying of the leaves, flowers etc.  I instead thrive on life and as such spring is always my favourite time even early spring when its brown and there's no leaves on the trees.  The promise of what's to come is what I love.

But I regress.  Its Fall and 'its' getting closer.

'Its' of course is:

The removal of Payton's tube: Set for this coming Wednesday
Halloween: in 16 days
Christmas: I can't count that high so I don't know how many more days...just that the spirit will be in the air soon.

Oh, I guess its worth mentioning mine and Dwayne's 6th year Anniversary is also coming - tomorrow to be exact.  Fitting enough, its also Pregnancy and Infant Loss day. So with that day of celebration it also comes with sorrow as many family (ours included) light candles for our little ones in their memory.

Just to back it up a bit, I did mention that Halloween is coming.  And as is our tradition, we went to do our Annual Stanley Park Ghost Train ride.  We had to convince Livy to put on her SuperGirl costume but once she started getting all the attention she LOVED IT!!

Here's a few pics of our evening (Note poor Payton is already wearing hand-me-downs).

The recycled little girafe.  Looking just as cute the second time around.

Faster than a Speeding Bullet (thank goodness for her super strength since she kept tripping on the pavement from running so fast)
