Happy birthday, Alexander!

Today, our firstborn turns 22! Parenting older children is a mix of still thinking that they are children, excited for what they will do in life, keeping fingers crossed that they will stay with you for a while longer and being proud of who they have become. You worry about them staying out late, driving at night, doing well in school, making good choices but then you know that you are no longer in charge- they are... and they got it. 

Alexander, we are so proud of you! Happy birthday! 

Postcards from Montreal: the west of Montreal edition

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend! So nice to have an extra day off! Andreas and I decided to go to a place called Coteau-du-Lac, which is about a 30 minute drive from us. Oliver even decided to join us (we bribed him with fishing and poutine but don't tell anyone😉). The leaves have just started to turn colours and the weather, although grey, was still pretty warm. It made for a beautiful outing!

Hope you are all doing well! Here is a photo spam to make up for the fact that I am crap at keeping up on this blog... but I think of you all... and this little corner of the internet... often.

Wishing you all a great week ahead!

 

16 years with Oliver

Today is our baby's 16th birthday. I know I shouldn't be calling him a baby, but he will always be ours. Time flies when we are having fun! We love you, Oli!

Postcards from Montreal: the hopefully spring edition

Greetings from Blogland! 

This morning I decided to take a walk around Montreal's Little Italy. Yes, I needed a good coffee and, yes, I was feeling inspired to take some pictures.  Andreas is traveling for work so I was able to click away without annoying him 😉

So here are some pics from my day's walk ❤️
