My baby turned 9 two weeks ago! Hard to believe, the time is going so quickly! She celebrated with 5 friends on Friday night. The girls came over after school and had a snack. Then they did a craft, danced with xbox, swam in the pool, and then came back for dinner and a movie. They all slept over, so I think by about midnight, they finally fell asleep. They were all up again at 5am! After a breakfast of pancakes and bacon, there was more dancing, playing, and having fun. They all left at 9:30 Saturday morning.

This photo was from her actual birthday, October 24.

Alas, now that she is nine, she is definitely growing up. We still enjoy morning cuddles in our bed, and snuggling on the couch for a movie. But there are some subtle differences, little things that show she is maturing. She is starting to be a little more adventurous with her food, and she will now eat salmon! If we don’t put too much pressure on her, she will try bits of new things. Yeah! She made crepes in French class a couple of weeks ago, and this morning she insisted on making crepes for breakfast! She was a little frustrated that the first couple didn’t turn out, but we kept encouraging and she proceeded to cook the rest just fine. She was rewarded with empty plates! Great job, Laryssa!

She also wants to help me with the blog, so the following is her contribution for this week.

When I was walking home on Wednesday from dance I heard a big crash. When I got home I saw my dad looking out the window so I looked too. The big crash was the
communication tower. It was near the pool and even more closer was the flats above 8.
Lots of teachers started to crowd around the scene . My friend Finn called and said that flats 9-20 lost power. It’s weird that new things change . I feel bad for the plants that got destroyed in the scene. I also feel sorry for the flower pot that fell. I’m glad no one got hurt when it fell. What I want to know is how did the communication tower fall?
