Postcards from Montreal- the birthday edition

Yesterday, I turned 51... actually, I prefer to think that I turned 25 1/2 for the second time around ;) For part of my birthday present, Andreas took me out for lunch downtown and did not complain when I stopped to take pictures. Now that is something! ;)

Happy rainy Saturday to you all xox

Last day of school 2021

Wow! The last day of school! This year was definitely packed with new experiences... things that we couldn't even have imagined before. No matter how it started, I am very proud of all the children and their teachers for how it ended up. They definitely showed their resilience, dedication, effort and strength during this past year. Now Alexander had his last day of high school and is off to CEGEP in the fall... Nicklas will be in grade 9, in the same school but a new building... and Oliver will be in grade 6 and looking forward to his own 2022 graduating year.

Here's to the last day and the summer ahead! May the next school year be a little more boring ;)









Happy boys!

Wow- when did that happen?

And, suddenly, Alexander is graduating from high school. It seems like yesterday that we first took him there to find his locker and pick up his grade 7 schedule (see here for a flashback) and now he is finishing! On Friday, the school filmed all the grads walking across the stage and we will get to see it on June 25 (my birthday so this video will be my present!). Despite the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the school really tried to make the kids feel special. They even allowed the gowns to come home for pictures... so guess what we did? Here is the result.... Happy graduation, Alexander. We are so proud of you 💙
