Summer has begun!

RIP Luna

 May was a month of moving, packing and organizing. It was a month of wrapping things up and saying goodbyes.

Boxes and furniture lined up in our garage: ready for the big move


The kids were great helpers!

At the storage unit

Lending a spade


For a week, we ate our meals on our laps.
We're practising for summer camping :)

Empty living room. Just the necessities: the laptop, a few pillows
and a yoga mat


Saying goodbye to Marcel-Chaput.
7 years of great memories!


On May 31, Luna joined Animal Heaven where cats get served unlimited butter, tuna, salmon and cream cheese everyday .
Going with the flow...

An explorer of the outdoors!


She will be crowned Queen of the Cats 

She was loved and Margot was never shy in
expressing her love. 
In her early adoption days, Luna joined me on the yoga mat.
She mostly lounged on the mat next to mine and sometimes
snuck under me while I was in my downward dog.

Such a pleasant, quiet, chill cat.

June has been a month of transitions. Living in rental accommodations, we (I) are feeling rather antsy and ready to move into 103 Sherbrooke Ave! We still have a month and a half to go … arghh!
The condo we were living in for a month

Margot has been incredible during this whole year-long process. She has kept my spirits up and has demonstrated such resilience and adaptability. That's my girl!

Splash pad season is in full force!



Margot finished kindergarden with a big smile on her face. By moving to Ottawa, we are saying goodbye to Montessori.  This school was absolutely fantastic. I console myself in knowing that, in her three preschool years, she gained a strong foundation and learned life-long skills.





These days, Margot loves:
-Caterpillars and all insects.



-Riding her 2-wheel bike (finally!)

-Running.
Running a 2km on the Ottawa Race Weekend.
Sweltering temperature 

Simon also recently ran a race: The Perth Kilt Run
There he is, in all his beauty ;)

No June would be complete without our annual Strawberry picking day:




I wish you all a lovely summer! It's a short season (except in the South of France!) so take advantage of it and spend lots of time outdoors.
Our awesome trio!
