We have been wanting to sign Claire & Rhys up for piano lessons for quite a while. Jimmy happened upon a beautiful old piano that a lady was wanting to give away for free. After a lot of research we realized how expensive it is to move a piano and that old pianos may look pretty but are not a sound investment.
We went for it and so far the piano sounds great, looks pretty and Claire & Rhys are doing great with lessons!
We have many November through December birthdays on the Miller side of the family- Jimmy, Wendy, Senna, Debbie, Claire & Rhys. We like to have a mini gathering to celebrate each other and to exchange gifts 🙂 This year we had a little soiree at our house in early December.
 
We had a really great hot summer this year! Some days were unbearable especially for sun sensitive Claire & Jimmy. Early on in the summer Jimmy ventured out to get a slip’n’slide for us to have some fun and to cool us down on those crazy hot days. It was so fun! and provided us with some good laughs.

Reading has taken off this school year! After bath time instead of playing Lego like most other nights these two wanted to sit and read through their books. Awesome.
Maybe all our reading to them since they were first born has paid off…
We moved within Victoria on September 1st.
Moving is SO much work and one of my least favorite activities. The owners of our rental house were moving back from Japan so we had to find a new home during the busiest time of year for house rentals… students moving back into town. We also had a crazy house sale boom so many rental homes were being sold so owners could profit which meant there was not a very big rental supply.
A long story short…we found a nice place to move to (huge yard, heat!, a pond with goldfish, fruit trees, a view!, loads of wildlife coming and going in our yard) and with a lot of effort our move was successful.
