lola and the leaves
i know, i am worse then a mom with a newborn…. posting all these dog photos on my blog. but seriously my puppy is killing me lately. today she was diving into the leaf pile on the driveway. she let the kids bury her time and time again, and when they threw up the leaves...
lola and her pumpkin
she stole the mini pumpkin from the front entrance at least three times. i would chase her through the yard, trading her a yummy dog treat for the pumpkin, until finally i gave up. off she went up the driveway with a pumpkin in her mouth. i wasn’t sure where she was going to go,...

zip zipping away
yesterday the kids grandparents had planned to steal them from school and take them to the AdrenaLine zip line in sooke. they had sent them little hints in the mail and were really looking forward to surprising the kids. it turns out there was a bad accident on the highway in vancouver, they ended up...

wow, it is very hard to believe where we were nine years ago today. so hard to imagine those tiny little two pound babies born three months early would grow so big, so beautiful and so wonderful. last night looking through the little box of baby things we took from the hospital with the kids...
