August was such a busy month for the Doner family and especially for little Isaac. With two trips to Vancouver Island, a week in the States, and a long weekend in Northern Alberta for my sister in laws wedding, it was quite the month. I can definitely say it's a blessing for September to be here.
For the past four summers some of my closest girlfriends and I go to Sylvan Lake for one weekend. It's been a tradition and we hope to keep it up for many years. This year was a little bit different since I'm now a mother, so I only went for one day but still had such a great time with these girls. I honestly don't know where I'd be without them in my life.
This is my best friend Candace and I at dinner in the town of Sylvan.
This is my sweet Isaac and I at the beautiful pacific ocean.
On Peter's week of holidays we decided to do a family road trip to Vancouver Island. It was a lot of driving for such a little guy, but we took stops when we needed to. One of Isaac's favorite things is his lamb skin, given to us by a dear friend Nadine at my baby shower. Isaac loves to cuddle with it, lay on it, and sleep on it. So at the Ferry Terminal we took him out and he just chilled in the back seat!
Peter and I both had the privilege of being in a wedding party of our friends Nick and Gemma this summer. It was so great to celebrate with them and to be able to walk down the aisle together. I think it brought back memories of our wedding which was really special.
And to finish off our month we drove up to Grande Prairie for Peter's sisters wedding. I got to meet one of peters cousins and aunts which was a blessing. A lot of people who are important to us got to meet Isaac for the first time too.
Isaac got all dressed up for the wedding too, he is such a handsome boy!
All in all it was a CRAZY and busy month, but we are thankful for all the friends and family we were able to spend it with.
I can now say that as September is already well on it's way I'm trying to slow things down for our family and start to get Isaac on a schedule.
I can't believe summer is almost over, but the more I think about it I'm really looking forward to the beautiful season of Autumn. Leaves of many colors will fall, I can start sipping hot chocolate, cozying up on the couch with my boys, wearing hoodies, and maybe even go snowboarding this winter!
