Matcha AugAugust is a month of firsts, as well as fleeting moments to now look backย on. Matcha came up to Edmonton August 18 in time for the last days ofย summer fun and brand new adventures.ย  He hit the ground running, almostย literally, trying to keep up to his older brother, Xavier, and all the funย things to fit in.ย  Park running, camping, swimming and meeting newย friends, all as the leaves are turning and the temperature droppingย heading into fall. Everyday Matcha is a little bolder than the last, andย a bit taller than before.ย  In just a few weeks his little body has beenย growing from round and stubby towards long and lanky, as he jumps higherย into the car and runs faster out in the park.ย  No day is the same as theย one before, a new thing one day is an experience the next, and evenย little Matcha is not as little as he was before.
