Norman celebrates Canada Day!


Let me introduce you to the newest "member" of our family, Norman. When Andy and I were out for a walk Andy spotted a racoon floating face down in a Bow River tributary near our home and he fished him out and brought the racoon home, setting him outside the kitchen window. The racoon was a big hit with the kids, especially Lyden who gave him his name and immediately felt Norman needed a hat. After failing to craft anything suitable from paper, he and Erin set out on Saturday to find him one. Apparently "build a bear" had exactly what he was looking for - a cowboy hat (a Blue Jays ball cap came in a close 2nd). Erin brought over the Canada Day bandanda and Andy added the Canadian flag to complete the look.
