Sage and Conrad (and their parents) arrived on Saturday morning for Thanksgiving. It was so good to see them……….. they are growing so fast and change every-time we see them.

After lunch the girls headed to Aberdeen Mall and to Claire’s for some accessories shopping and then off to Value Village for Halloween Costumes. Meanwhile the boys were off to Walmart and Costco to pick up goodies for the Princeton Exhibition Association Halloween Party and then off to KMS Tools to stock up on tools.

Before Thanksgiving dinner Kevin and Conrad assembled a bit of the HO Scale Train stuff Kevin found on Kijiji. I picked it up earlier in the week and they got a pretty good selection of train supplies for $40. While they worked on this downstairs project Sage did her most favorite thing, which is watching television.

Sunday morning was time for Sage to get snugly in our bed while Conrad had a bit of breakfast……….. he is such a skinny little guy that his tummy gets pretty hungry after a good nights sleep.

Also on Sunday GGPa and GGMa came over for breakfast. They really enjoy seeing their grandchildren and great grandchildren. The grandchildren look pretty happy to see them as well..

After breakfast GGPa and GGMa headed home and we went for a walk over to Lloyd George School so they could wear off some energy on the school ground equipment.

All this exercise makes you hungry and here is Sage recharging her batteries with a bowl of Sherbert.

Before they headed home Princeton they all went swimming up at the Canada Games Pool. What a great way to spend Thanksgiving.

Hello everyone………… it’s Zachary the Ultimate Orphan reporting, this time from my home in Kelowna.

My Mom and Dad are headed off to the 2011 USA Ultimate Northwest Regionals in Burlington WA. for the weekend. So my Namma and Pops drove down from Kamloops to look after Willow and I for the weekend.

My Dad is playing on a Team called FIGJAM; I’m not sure what that stands for and I am probably too young to want to hear it. Dad’s team has a good chance this weekend and they are hoping to finish 1st or 2nd because if they do they will qualify fora spot at the USA 2011 Ultimate Championships which are being held in Florida. I really hope they do well as I would love to go to Florida and see Disney World. My Mom’s team is Wildrose from Calgary and I understand they don’t have a very good chance as the competition in their division is very tough……. but you never know what can happen. I’m sure my Namma and Pops will keep me informed throughout the weekend with regular updates from the tournament web site.

Just before they left on Friday morning my Mom Skyped with her Gido and Baba in Toronto. It was so good to see them and as they are so far away I don’t get to see them often and they were so surprised how fast I am growing, how strong I am and everything I am learning at my age.

Since Namma and Pops last looked after me I have learned to feed myself with a spoon and I think that I am doing a pretty good job. Oh, they think I am kinda messy, but a guy has to learn these things some time.

Actually my Namma helps out quite a bit which I don’t mind.My Pops says that my Mom and Dad’s good friend Heather from Toronto who is an Environmental Engineer would declare me and the area around my chair an Environmental Waste Site. Heather was pretty sick recently but she is getting better each day, I hope these pictures put a smile on her face and cheer her up. Get better soon Heather – Love Zachary!

Namma and Pop have been keeping me very busy. We have gone for lots of walks and other adventures. Namma says that Pops and I can’t go by ourselves since I am such a “Chick Magnet” she thinks Pops will just get in trouble with all the cute ladies that want to talk to me.

Before going out in the sun Namma tries to put lots of sunscreen on me and I wiggle around quite a bit.

Pops says it reminds him of the Greased Pig Contest from the local Fall Fair.

Lately I have been climbing over everyone and everything. I climb the stairs, I climb over Namma, I climb up the Sofa and the most fun is when I climb into my foam toy box.

After a busy day of climbing I get pretty tired, but it’s what I need to do and then I sleep all night long.
