Summer is coming to an end? Really? It is so hard to believe. The end of August has always been a crazy, stressful and exhausting time for me as I get organized for a new school year. I am usually running with my head cut off trying to do too much in too little time (because I wasted most of it doing completely unnecessary things like changing borders on bulletin boards...). Well, there is one working day left before school starts and I am so darn relaxed it is almost criminal. This is a really nice change!
We had a wonderful visit from Craig, Sandie and Noah several weeks ago. They are extremely special to Aimée and I. They adopted Noah the same time I adopted Aimée. What we shared together in Vietnam during those couple of weeks has deeply connected us for life. They (as well as the other family we traveled with) are such kind people. Even though I was technically "alone" for the trip, I never felt alone. These two families were always there looking out for Aimée and I. Call me sappy, but I like to believe my guardian angel arranged for two of the nicest families to travel at the same time as me.

Here is Aimée looking like such a big girl!
(You can't see much of it in these photos, but the duvet cover on this bed is from my trip to Vietnam. It is hand made and absolutely gorgeous! The silk is quite inexpensive in Vietnam.)
Aimée has been working on her bowling game.
Watch out Mémère, she will soon be ready to take you on!!!
I am actually looking forward to this fall to tell you the truth. We have registered for numerous classes and activities. We will be going to the library for stories and songs, joining playgroups at the Early Childhood Center and taking swimming lessons at our local pool. It should be lots of fun.
I wish all of you a fantastic last few days of summer!
