August.

I know I say it every single month but this past month flew by with a cosmic speed!

We did a lot of traveling in August. We started with a trip down to the states for Patrik’s cycling 2 days race event. We stayed in Elma and also visited Seattle.

We went to Cultus Water Park to have some family fun. We also spent 4 days in Squamish hiking and biking and finished the month by traveling to Summerland for kids’ and Ivo’s triathlon race. I love to travel but I’m so happy we are finally at home.

August was definitely month of movement. I bought new running shoes and have started running again. It feels good to be back outside and run. And it’s even better when I can do it with a dear friend.

The biggest thing for us this month was definitely a decision about having a dog. Katrin has been asking for a dog like forever and Ivo finally agreed. I will post some photos in a different post.

Both kids have grown up so much during summer. I definitely don’t look forward to going through their closets to sort out their clothes. I bet half of Patrik’s pants will be short. As the teachers’ strike is still on (since mid-June), the school is not starting tomorrow. We, as parents, are really upset about the whole situation but there is nothing we can do about it. Hopefully the schools will open their doors soon.

The summer went by too fast, the change of seasons is noticeable already. The trees are changing colors and even the weather is more fall-ish.  I will try to do some sort of summer summary in photos soon.

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary.  Marrying Ivo was the best decision I’ve ever made! I love him dearly.

Goodbye August.

Hello September!
