Travel: Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park has a part of my heart forever. It’s so beautiful and I was delightfully happy spending 3 days with Bryce and Lily in the massive national park. See it if you get a chance – you won’t be sorry. We traveled the Going-to-the-Sun-Road and cooked on our camp fire. Do you want to see more about our trip?

Rush Gets Married
Rush Gets Married My little brother Noah, who is called Rush by his close friends, is saying “I do” this afternoon to Tiana. She is a picture perfect person – kind, generous, and real. There is a lot of physical distance between us, they live in Ontario and we live in Alberta, yet we’ve made the trip to Ontario twice before the wedding to meet Noah and Tiana as a couple. They are flat out in love. With regards to Noah, I want to share…

Photos: First Snow 2013
First snow 2013 looks like winter is here…and I think it’s here to stay! Two days ago the grass was green and the sun was shining. Then 15 cm, or 6 inches dumped down on us. The dogs love the fluffy white stuff. First Snow 2013 Here’s Lily running no the paths though the weighed down trees. Such a little rascal, this one – she eats her body weight in snow each year. I mean, it’s like she thinks it’s a snack or a treat.…

Photos: Thanksgiving 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!! Even though it was yesterday…we’re a little late. This was the first time we (or I, rather) attempted to take some family photos. Thanksgiving 2013 Setting up – Lily is supervising. The tripod was a gift from a very kind old man who we purchased some tools off of – I highly recommend a tripod if you’re evening thinking of using your camera’s self timer. First shots – not too bad. Happy everything is in focus! Second shot (well, each shot took 10…

Snow Day
It’s a snow day! Lots of fluffy white stuff…the dogs love it! I’m mean and didn’t shovel the deck one bit – nope, time to play first and work after, right? Snow Day We live in Northern Alberta and the snow we get here isn’t as fluffy and dense as it is, say, in Ontario. Both Bryce and I grew up with heavy wet snow that was so heavy to lift, yet made great snowmen. I’ve heard that if you take 1 cup of Alberta…
