A November postcard from Montreal

November, so far, has been pretty bipolar. We went from almost summer-like weather to winter in about a week. Let's just say that I started November in sandals and now have to wear boots! It is also dark so early now but- letting you all in on a little secret- leaving work and seeing all the street lights is almost cosy. Almost.

I know that I have been pretty bad at blog maintenance. The boys are WAY less interested in letting me write about them, take pictures of them and post anything about them. Sometimes bribing works but I couldn't afford that every day ;) So, to try to make ammends, I wanted to send you all a November postcard... Novembrrrrrrr is probably more accurate... here we go again xox

Another adult in the house

Today is Alexander's 18th birthday! I can't believe that our baby boy is now a grown man. These last 18 years have been a whirlwind- a sweet boy born in 2004, living in Copenhagen, starting vuggestuen (Danish daycare), meeting friends, moving to Canada, Alexander's first day at his new daycare, becoming a big brother, meeting new friends, soccer, starting elementary school, becoming a big brother again, more soccer, meeting more new friends, trips, spending time together, growing up, graduating from grade 6, starting high school, swimming, rugby, more soccer, more trips, more friends, becoming more independent, football, more rugby, covid, graduating from high school, starting to work, starting CEGEP, becoming even more independent, more football and, today, turning 18 years old. 

All this for him but his parents haven't aged a bit ;)

Congratulations and happy birthday to our first born. We love you!
