A New Subaru Outback

-
We decided to stay with Subaru.  Yes, we are loyal customers. Our 2011 Outback was damaged by another car a few months ago, unfortunately.  I was so sad when that happened.  I loved my car and it served our family well.  With summer looming, it was time to get another family adventure type of car to take us on our camping trips and family outings. 

We test drove other vehicles, SUVs like the Lexus RX350 and Acura RDX.  In the end, we chose the 2021 Outback XT Limited trim in Brilliant Bronze Metallic colour.  I'm pretty happy with our decision to stay with a Subaru Outback.  It meets all our needs, doesn't break the bank and is a well-built car.  This one has a lot more bells and whistles than our 2011 one and many more safety features. My favourite feature - heated steering wheel!  I'm looking forward to going on many family road trips in our new car.

 This blog is about our family life - our adventures, our ups and downs, our dreams and aspirations.  It's so easy to forget the details of the everyday and so this blog is for storing and sharing our stories.  So we can look back, remember and laugh about our life together, not just the big events but also the everyday ones that slip from our minds over time.  My hope is to capture the love we have for each other through the stories in this blog.

Start!

We've been enjoying watching the Tokyo Olympics.  It's great to see these top-level athletes compete but it's also really sad to see the stands empty.  When is this pandemic going to end??? Olympic highlights:  Canadian women swim team doing so well (Penny, Maggie Mac Neil, Kayla Sanchez), watching archery for the first time (it's very exciting), Tom Daley knitting while watching the diving competition, the youngsters in skate boarding, Damian Warner in the decathlon, and Andre De Grasse winning medals.  And Toyota had ad during the Tokyo Olympics broadcast: You don't need to be amazing to start but you need to start to be amazing.

Wow!  Grade 6!  I can hardly believe Sophia is in middle school this year.  Her years in the primary program has just flown by.  She's been fortunate to have had wonderful teachers that she liked very much (Ms. Minichiello, Ms. Ottohal, Ms. Moriarty, Ms. Todd, Ms. Takeda) and who gave her such great support and encouragement each year.  Sophia started as a shy girl who was afraid to speak up but by Grade 5, she had come out of her shell, become more self-confident, and let her personality shine through. We've enjoyed watching her grow and support her as best we can.  My daily reminders to her are do your best, be kind, be you.  She makes us proud!
