Happy 2024!

Hello again! Long time, no hear!


Honestly, it has become difficult to keep up writing here- the boys are not so keen on my writing about them or posting pictures anymore so blog posts tend to be about the weather, walks around Montreal and other random events. Anyway, since my last entry was May 15, 2023 (Oliver's 13th birthday), I thought that I would do a little catch up...


Just after my last post, I went to England by myself to visit family and friends. I arrived at Heathrow on May 22, and made my way to Coventry to see  Harry Styles Love on Tour (great show). From there, I traveled to Liverpool, Manchester, Leicester and through Cheshire. In all, it was 10 great days with beautiful people and I definitely hope to go back soon. It was a very intense time but I will always hold these memories close to my heart.


At the end of July, we (all 5 of us) flew to Sweden to see Andreas' family/friends and to celebrate his 50th birthday. Considering that this might be one of the last family trips, we really appreciated it. Also, as the boys get older, they are more into seeing the sights as opposed to being bored by everything as they did the last time we were there. We even managed to get to Oslo in Norway and I traveled by myself on a side trip to visit friends in Copenhagen for a few days.


Since the summer, we had football, football and more football (Alexander and Nicklas). Oliver played baseball again so that was pretty busy too. Alexander entered his 3rd year of college (CEGEP in Quebec), Nicklas started his last year of high school and Oliver started grade 8. 


On November 13, Alexander turned 19 years old (?!?). Where does time fly? When I first started this blog in 2014, he was still in elementary school and was at least a head shorter than me. Now, I barely make it to his shoulder. His friends and former school mates are students in my university classes! Funny how the boys get older but Andreas and I don't age at all ;) Ha!


Flashforward to now, welcome to 2024! Hope it is a happy and peaceful year for you all! I know that it might seem like I gave up on my little corner of the internet but I did not and I am hoping that you did not give up on me ;)


See you all again soon! I promise it won't be 7 months until the next post ;)

  1. Godt nytår til dig og dine.
    Tak for dine dejlige ord fra året 2023.
    Der er flere der vælger andre platforme end bloggen. Jeg er heller ikke særlig stabil.
    Derfor ser jeg jo skønne billeder fra dine gåture på både FB og IG. Jeg kommentere ikke udover med en 👍eller et ❤️.
    Vi håber alle pauserne mellem indlæg bliver kortere en sidste lange pause, måske, måske ikke. Glæder mig allerede til næste indlæg.

  2. Wishing you a Happy New Year! It has been wonderful overseeing updates over the past 7 months. I understand how it goes as the boys grow older, and there might not be as much content or photos of them. I believe I've discovered a subtle approach where I can continue blogging about personal experiences while also honoring the privacy of those I mention.
