The 3rd 3 months of 2023

((This post has been essentially done for more than a year..maybe it's finally time to post it :) ))

The 3rd quarter of the year 2023 continued to be full of thoughts, feelings + experiences. (Here are Parts 1 and Part 2 of the year).

July found us gallivanting to and around North America

That's whipped cream + our little kitten was happy to help with mine :)

Cousin + Great-grandparent time

boys great + small on a slackline (sounds like an album name)

Seeing a dear childhood friend 

Dream come true : going fishing!

In August we were also in Oregon visiting Theta's Great-grandma and my aunt + cousin

Red sand + cheery faces

Playgrounds for all ages!

A last time with my Grandma 💜

and we went up to Canada to visit F's parents + some siblings

Making pasta with Oma!

Heritage Park fair grounds!

We love libraries!

--and coconut butter buns!

Dinousaurs at Drumheller!

Theta apparently weighs as much as a spider monkey...

Adorable little ones 💜

Helping Oma with re-staining the stairs

(exhausted in the airport)

and then school (4th grade) started for me

We got to feed animals at the aquarium

... went to a harvest festival!

Happy Fall!
