I found it!

A visit with Mom....she is just so happy with her 'baby'


Aunt Bertha passed away a couple of Sunday's ago...and I was remembering this very nice picture she sent last Christmas and darned if I could find it! While visiting Mom, I told her about Aunt Bertha and then suddenly recalled where the photo was...I had put it on Mom's wall by her bed!! So I borrowed Diane's technique of taking a picture of the picture...and here it is... another angel has her wings

September ends...October begins!

Ian, Aaron & Katie having supper in their new home! Elliott & I drove the moving van down to California on Monday & Tuesday...and along with Ian, we got a lot of unpacking done before Katie & Aaron arrived on a Thursday afternoon. We wish them all the best as they start their new adventure in the US.

Holly & Elliott taking pictures today... we went out to Minter Gardens after a wondeful birthday lunch that Julie put on for me!

Julie, Cali & Greg put on a lovely party for my birthday today! Julie really enjoys putting on family get-togethers...although she had a busy week and was very tired, she made it a special day for me! Thanks Julie!



Lilah, Steph & Declan at the party...Aaron was working and couldn't be there...I thought this photo turned out really nice! Lilah sure looks like her Mom here!



Holly made some wonderful birthday cupcakes for the party! Thanks Holly! She also had a busy week...picked up Elliott & I at Bellingham last night and stayed up until midnight making these cupcakes!

Home again!

This photo was taken the morning we left for Calgary... what a little sweetie!



Elliott & Jake when we stopped in Kelowna to visit Donald & Bettina

(I had planned to take a picture of them...ooops...I forgot!)


We went to Drumheller on Friday...Elliott really enjoyed the Royal Tyrell Museum.

I would be remiss in not mentioning that Katie, Ian and Aaron came and house sat for us while we were away! We appreciate them helping us out...and check their blog for some cute photos, one is of Tag trying to go home with them!

Calgary Wedding!

This is a little video at Britt & Tyler's reception...Britt's Uncle Rick was the photographer for the day and I took this little clip of the shot he was taking. From left to right, Tyler, Britt, Katie, Keith's Mom & Keith. It was a beautiful wedding, a beautiful bride and handsome groom...Elliott and I both enjoyed ourselves and were so happy to be there!
