Busy end of the summer!

So usually I don't have many pictures of me or Sam and I together on this blog since I'm usually the one taking the pictures. So here's a post with some of Sam and I. At the end of August, Sam and I went to Waterton for a few days without the girls to do the things we can't do when we have the girls with us.
This is is Alderson Lake...about 15 Km's into our hike.

This was my second Triathlon of the summer. It went well.
My family at the finish line. I finished 43 out of 117 and 23rd out of 83 women. I swim like a brick, 107 out of 117 but for the bike I was 22nd out of 117 and run 27th out of 117.

Hiking in Waterton.


What a view. 8600 Feet.
I love this picture!

Nali's First Day of French Immersion Kindergarten!

So my baby started Kindergarten!! I CAN'T believe it to say the least! She was SO excited to say the least. The night before she started she woke up at 2:00 AM and yelled "I'M SO EXCITED FOR KINDERGARTEN TOMORROW!!!!" Seriously it was hilarious! It was so crazy she woke up and got ready in the morning. It was the first time she looked old enough to go to kindergarten. She's almost a full year older then some of the kids there since she turns six at the end of November. Here the cut off is December 31. We decided to wait and are so glad we did.
She goes M-T in the mornings and is in French Immersion. She goes to the same Elementary school that I attended. It's about 8 blocks from our house. The first morning Sam and I walked her there.
Outside of the school with Dad.
Me and my baby!
Nali and her teacher Madame Cormier. She is so incredibly nice. I feel totally at peace at putting Nali in French Immersion. At first it's a little scary thinking that for the first 3 years they only speak to these kids in French. This teacher explained that once the kids feel safe she'll start speaking to them more and more in French. Some kids were crying...of course not Nali! Never been one to have seperation anxiety which has been nice. But this teacher seems quite remarkable. It was cool the first morning we all sang O' Canada in French. I got teary eyed to say the least.
