Today, Alexander turns 21 years old! I know that I say this often but time really does fly! Sometimes I look at him and am amazed at how fast that little baby and cookie-eating toddler boy turned into this grown man.... especially when Andreas and I haven't aged at all ;)
Happy birthday, sweetheart! We love you!
Me again!
Yes, every once in a while I get the sudden urge to visit this place... to say hi... to say that I am still around... and that I miss it here. I met quite a few very awesome people via this blog and I absolutely hesitate to give all those memories and opportunities for connection up. So I have come back to post some glimpses of Montreal life and our way too early snow storm! Yes, it is pretty but even nicer when you are far away, in some warm climate and just peaking in... so enjoy!
Even the snowman looks depressed ;)
Today, our youngest turns 15! I can't believe it! What happened to the 3 year old Oliver of 2014 when I started this blog? Well, he is now finishing grade 9 and a good head taller than me (plus an attitude to match- just ask his brothers) ;)
Happy birthday, Oliver! We love you!

Today is Nicka's 18th birthday. It was strange enough when Alexander turned 18 but, now, we have 2 young adults in the house. I know that I say this a lot but.... time really does fly!
Nicka- happy birthday! We are so proud of you! 💙
Hello all!
Thinking back at 2024, I give it a definite 7/10... maybe even a 8/10. Nothing outrageous, nothing offensive. A solid and steady year. I will take it 😉
Things that happened: Nicklas turned 17, graduated from high school, started CEGEP and opted to play collegial rugby. Oliver turned 14, started grade 9 and played rugby at his school. Alexander turned 20, started his senior year at CEGEP and his last year of collegial football.
Andreas traveled to Scotland for a conference and Sweden to visit his family.
I traveled to the UK to visit family and had an awesome time.
We got a dog.
Friends were found, friends were lost. We made it to the end of 2024- I count my blessings.
As we near 2025, I am thankful for you all. May your 2024 have been filled with more ups than downs.
See you on the other side 💕
Hello again! Long time, no see ;) Thought I would pop by in honour of Alexander's 20th birthday! I can hardly believe it. One day he was a little boy and the next a grown man! As he leaves the teen years and finishes his last year of college, we just want him to know how incredibly proud we are of him and who he has become.
We love you, baby boy!
Today, my baby turns 14 years old... and he has officially entered his teenage phase 😉 This includes the overuse of popular phrases like "Talk to the hand", "Yes, old mamma", "You are not cool" and the ever famous eye-roll 😉 He is definitely the family entertainment factor and the loudest one on PS4.
Happy birthday, Ollie! We love you!!!
