Vacations ended, school started . . . Fall is around the corner !

Today was a beautiful windy & sunny day that makes you feel grateful for all the simple pleasures we get to experience : running in the wind, laughing with friends, hugging your child, just laying on the ground outside and taking nature in . . . so many blessings !

I love experiencing the changes of the seasons, I discovered I am so happy each time it changes, I always like Spring, the beauty of new leaves in the trees, feeling the sun again, I got so excited to dip in the pool & relax all summer, and I am now ready for jeans and pumpkin bread in the fall, playing with the leaves, and the cooler winter days with nutella crepes, warm fire , raclette dinners with friends, and let's not forget the holidays !!!! I just feel so happy and excited to live, love and laugh with all my loved ones. Life is truly GOOD !

Oh, and I never got around to posting a few pics of the end of our STAYcation, so

here they are ; )

Adrien was invited to 2 wonderful birthday parties , a super hero birthday for Jackson and Garrett's train birthday. He had an amazing time - a day full of excitement :)

Sweet Garrett with Debi and Zane - he's such an adorable little boy !
The train - Adrien went 6 times - we counted ;) and could have probably stayed in there the whole day.
He was proud to build his caboose with his dad - they made a good team :)
Getting his luggage by himself at the airport when we went to MI for my grandmother's 80th birthday.
Adrien discovered a new passion for badminton - he's really into any sports, it's the cutest thing- he catches up quickly . I was watching him with a stick this afternoon, he used as a tennis racket, a fishing pole, a baseball bat and then played soccer with it . . . :)

We celebrated Adrien's first day of school with a fun lunch at WichWhich . . . MMMH :)

Lots of cuddles during the staycation - Adrien ADORES his papa cheri :)
Adrien likes taking picture - he took that one by himself

Duff enjoys Adrien's play tent for outside - he thinks it's for him and Adrien was so excited - he asked me to let him in there.
Cooking with my little helper - we really have fun together - we've been practicing and soon the cooking blog will start :) YEAH !
