Unfortunately, we are STILL awaiting the pics from Evan's photographer. This is especially frustrating given the fact that we are planning on using one of the professional pics for our photo thank you cards. We are growing tired of waiting to officially thank everyone for the kindness and generosity shown towards our little guy. We have been told that we will be receiving the DVD of Evan's pics next week, so please stay tuned :-)
On Friday, October 10th, we attended my convocation up at Simon Fraser University. I finally completed my Master of Education degree and it feels really satisfying to have completed the formal phase of my education. No more school for me! I'm DONE! Now that I'm on maternity leave, I'm beginning to feel as though my brain is atrophying, so I should probably pull out my history books and begin a re-read! Speaking of history, I'm anxious to see Passchendale in the theatre.
Evan is a joy and is growing so quickly. I swear that next month he'll be off to university at the rate he is growing. He loves to smile and has one dimple on his cheek. At his most recent doctor's appointment, we learned that his head circumferance, weight, and length measurements all indicate that he is well above average (75-90th percentile). He also had his first four shots and surprised us with his monchalant attitude about the matter! Hopefully he will take his next set of shots with such ease. One other Evan notable is that we took him to the pumkin patch. He cried only when video was being taken of him, which seems to be the pattern of his behaviour. As you can see from the pics, he is wearing his caterpillar costume that his Za Za (my mom) bought for him. At one point, I was taking a pic of Evan and Scott when a horse came over and sniffed Evan! This happened so quickly, that I didn't have much time to centre the pic, hense a partially headless Scott and horse! Aside from that, I really love the pic.
Scott's business is booming! He now has four contractors working for him along with his full-time employee. He has a full board of directors and has completed his seed-round offer sheet and is currently searching for investors. While this is the worst time to seek financing, he's lucky in that the business is growing and is saddled with no debt. Keeping him busy is an exciting project on the Saanich peninsula, a challenging engineering job with the Canada Line (rapid transit), as well as other projects around Metro Vancouver.
