Photos: Thankful
It’s Thanksgiving weekend and the leaves are blowing around the front yard and I’m thankful for so many things: my lovely little family, the strong connections I share with the amazing people in my life, a wonderful job and blogging. I’m so grateful to have a space where I can share my love for life. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t always love life – sometimes it is unfair, illogical, and dark; yet blogging, for me, moves me past that into the light. And, the…

Photos: Thunder Snoring House
Thunder and snoring house – yes, my house is filled with so many sounds that it’s flat out beautiful. This morning the house is full of snoring. Bryce is on nights and Lily, well, she’s a Great Dane and she’ll snore anytime if you let her. The thunder, that comes from all of the rain and storms we’ve had over the last month or two. Oh, and there’s a precious story to go along with it. Thunder We were living in Dallas, Texas and Lily…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 2.0
Woof Wednesday 2.0 The perfect little day to share some adorable picture of some of my favourite pups and to share a silly one of me and Lily. I did a Woof Wednesday post last year and I like them – it’s just a little pick-me-up mid week. As most of you know, we said goodbye to Bella a month ago – that was hard. What’s been so fun, though, is learning more about Lily and seeing how much she loves attention, the word R-I-D-E,…

Jasper Park Lodge We had a fabulous time in late February at this Fairmont Resort. Our plan was to visit earlier in the week, February 22-25 or so for a few nights, yet with work demands we had to put the trip on hold. We struggled with the idea of going for one night on the weekend, February 27-28, yet we are so happy we made the trip, especially since we recently said goodbye to Bella. The drive up from Edmonton was beautiful – clear…

Photos: Saying Goodbye to Bella
Saying Goodbye to Bella Saying goodbye to Bella was what we did on Monday night. Honestly, the most heartbreaking experience I’ve had yet. But, what makes it okay and what makes me feel at ease are all of the precious memories Bella left me with. She was an amazing friend who demanded my attention and tested my patience. She was also the cuddle monster, the earliest riser our house has even seen, and the chuck-it champion. Here are a few photos and some sweet memories…

Photos: Moose 2.0
Moose 2.0 We had visitors on the weekend! Two moose were in our yard. So fun! A couple of years ago they (or maybe other members of their family) were here, too. The pictures were a bit better a couple of years ago, but that’s because I had Bryce’s help to keep the pups quiet. This time, Bryce was working nights, so sleeping at 9am and Bella and Lily were in the house barking up a storm. It’s a wonder I got any shots at…

Photos: Polar Bear Plunge
Polar Bear Plunge The plunge – the slogan – freeze’em for a reason! Why would we jump in ice water? To raise money for a charity, of course! This year Bryce and I decided to get each other unforgettable experiences and keep the cost down low. This was his gift to me – jumping in freezing ice water in the middle of January, in Edmonton – Northern Canada. So cold, so fun, so unforgettable, that’s for sure! We love the idea of stepping out of…
