Remembrance Day

Hope everyone takes a moment or two to remember past and present sacrifices that have been made for us to enjoy living in such a peaceful country.



Above is Lily in a Jolly Jumper, yes a Jolly Jumper. There maybe some folks who do not approve of them, she uses it twice a week for ten minutes at a time and I can assure you she is fully supervised. She usually tries to pick up her socks or one of Chipper's toys with her feet and does any amazingly good job, the girl is flexible. She enjoys her Jolly Jumper and will ask to be put in it by standing inside the metal frame and doing a funny little jumping action, and always tries to help Dale fasten the harness.
Oh and I wanted to share this random act of kindness. Earlier this week Lily and I were out for a walk, she of course was in her stroller. We crossed a somewhat busy intersection, said Hello to two guys who were packing up surveying equipment. Lily was chatting/babbling away in her stroller and I was just taking in the sunshine. I hear this "Excuse Me, Excuse Me". I push over to the far right thinking it was someone on a bike and we were in the way. It was one of the guys from the corner, he was waving Lily's pink mitten. Isn't that something? He chased us a good half block to return her fallen mitten. I love living in a place where that would happen!
Hope everyone has a thoughtful Remembrance Day.
