The first day of the last year

Today was Oliver's first day of the last year of elementary school. Grade 6! We have been at this elementary school since Alexander first started in 2009. I found out I was pregnant with Oliver just before having to take Alexander to his first day of kindergarten. For one year, I had Oliver in kindergarten, Nicka in grade 3 and Alexander in grade 6. The only year they were all at the same school... Now, it is Oliver's last year and I can't believe it!

Nicka will start online on Friday and in person next week. Stay tuned for part 3... I might have to sneak that photo though ;)

My first official day of school/teaching is tomorrow. Maybe I will be as photo resistant as Nicka ;) 

Happy first day of school! 

First day of college

Can you believe it? I can't! First day of college (CEGEP in Quebec).... where did time go?

I had to take this picture in the back of our house because Alexander was being picked up by friends (yes, his friends... driving!) who- heaven forbid- would see him pose for a back to school picture. So, this was the one and only picture that I was allowed to take... and I will treasure it :)

So proud of this kid!! Have fun on this new adventure!!

Goodbye Fanny

Today we had to say goodbye to our dog, Fanny. Over the last few weeks, she has been telling us that she is tired. Her legs couldn't carry her anymore and food no longer appealed to her the way it used to. She was with us for over 14 years. We brought her home not long after we had Nicklas. The boys can't remember life without her. She grew up with them and was a big part of that phase of our lives. It wasn't easy to make that call to the vet but we all know it was the right one for her.

Goodbye, Fanny. We will miss you! xox
