Ella's first trip to Canada

Ella and I just returned from 3 weeks visiting in Vancouver.

We had fantastic weather with lots of sunshine and blue skies. It wasn't as cold as I feared, which was a pleasant surprise.

Fall is a gorgeous time of year. I miss the changing of the seasons.








Ella impressed everyone with how well behaved she was and charmed strangers with her smiles.














Thank goodness Ella is so chill! We had lots of staged photo ops and she was great in them all!














Nice mohawk!






















A big highlight of the trip was being there while my Dad got married!

Poor Judy is officially a Friesen now :)







Ella's first Halloween was a big success.











This was an unplanned playdate so we didn't have our costume.











Ella as a lobster was too cute!











































Ella got to meet all sorts of people for the first time.



Here's Ella meeting her Great Grandma.

Ella's first impression was certainly memorable to Steven....good thing I had an emergency outfit for her!
