Recap
Since you last tuned in...
Early October (over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend) we had a lovely trip to Calgary, caught up with lots of friends and some family. Moira did extremely well traveling, her first flights! For some reason, we decided to start potty training like 2 weeks before this trip. (I know, foolish.) But she did fairly well. We only had two accidents the whole trip, both towards the end of the visit. (One while waiting to board the flight home, AFTER we'd checked the luggage. I had remembered to throw extra panties and pants into my carry-on, but forgot extra shoes. So I had to carry HER on to the plane, barefoot and we let her shoes air dry during the flight. Gross.)
Mid-Oct through mid-Nov, I had the mother-of-all ear infections which lasted through 2 courses of oral antibiotics and steroid ear drops. When I finally got in to see the ENT a month later, the infection had cleared up but I still couldn't hear because of a build up on the ear drum from all the flippin' drops! Oh, and when he was done checking my ears, he checked out my nose because I had reported perpetual sinus congestion on my medical history and turns out I have nasal polyps. They partially block my airways on the right. So, I've got a month of nasal steroid spray, then a follow up and possible surgery (totally minor out-patient thing, I believe).
Miss M was a kitty for Halloween and looked darling. We had over 60 trick-or-treaters;we ran out of candy and had to turn out the lights after just one hour.
November 2007 was the month for the Northern invasion. My husband's mommy drove down to surprise him for his 40th birthday. We had a little shindig for him Saturday 11/10. He got a whole bag of 40/old-guy/over-the-hill gag gifts from his mom. The best item was a T-shirt which read something to the effect of, "I'm 40 now. Too bad my hair couldn't be here with me on this momentous occasion."
Two weeks later, for U.S. Thanksgiving, hubby's Aunt & Uncle came down for a long-overdue, much anticipated visit. They brought down a belated house-warming / early Christmas present of a cedar-lined cherry chest / linen trunk, hand-made by our Uncle! It's gorgeous. Stained to match our bedroom suite furniture. I love, love, love it. They accompanied us to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents' house and had a nice 4 day visit with us.
Now, we're gearing up for the holidays. We'll be invading the North right back on 12/26 for a week of holidays after celebrating a brief Christmas with my family here on 12/25. Speaking of which, I must go inventory all the Christmas loot I've acquired so far, and figure out what I have left to buy!

Wow - what a total coincidence. I was at an ENT doctor today about chronic sinusitis. No diagnosis yet - waiting on the xray in two weeks (after 2 weeks of antibiotics).
Now I don't feel so bad we haven't started potty training if you just did it...I'm not sure I have the patience.
