Tonight while I sang Edzèa her lullabies, she nodded off to sleep. It was a truly magical moment for me. For three weeks, we have been letting her cry herself to sleep and it’s been painful for all of us. Tonight, it was like she finally knew the routine, was pretty pooped and just wanted to be sung to sleep. These are the moments that you dream of. So, I just thought I’d share that because it was lovely having her nod off in my arms and be at peace in her sleep.

Here’s another picture of her sitting up today. She is pretty proud of herself.

I had a great afternoon shooting pictures around Yellowknife while Tracey babysat. I hope to eventually do some paintings from some of these shots. Look under our Northern Pics tab to see what lovely weather we’ve been having.

Tomorrow, if the weather continues to co-operate, Tracey and I and Mackenzie and Edzèa are going for a walk out to Cameron Falls. We’ll drive about 60km to get to the trail and then hike with the girls in. It should make for some more nice fall pictures.

This morning, we walked downtown on the Frame Lake trail. I wished I had brought my camera.  The water was still and the light was perfect. Hopefully another day.  Today, some tourists on the trail asked me if the trail would take them downtown. It seems funny really. Yellowknife does have a downtown but it’s all relative. It takes about 10 minutes to get to downtown from anywhere in Yellowknife and it’s so far from being a downtown in a big city that it’s kind of laughable to call it downtown. But there you have it. The shots I took today were mainly in Old Town and on the shores of Great Slave Lake. I’ll take some of *downtown* in the future. Enjoy.
