Seems like heaven

I was reflecting on our "Family Fun Friday" again

and thinking about how lucky we are to have each other.

My sweet little family AND my big extended family

make my life complete.

My last living grandparent passed away on Wednesday.

He was the grandpa that took me fishing, taught me how to water ski, and gave me a love for all things nature.

He would have loved "Family Fun Friday" in the mountains.

I'm so glad we have glimpses of heaven on Earth.

 

Last Friday

This is what we did last Friday.

Colorado is a beautiful place to live indeed.

Hi.

I know this isn't a picture of our sweet Georgia.

But,

if I win this bike

I promise that the next picture will have Georgia in the bucket.

These bikes are seriously cool.

Wish me luck.

P.S. I entered to win this bike because my bike was "stolen" AND our stroller always has a flat tire AND we can't find our air pump AND I want to hear Georgia say "bucket bike".

Happy Fall!

This is what Fall looks like at our house.

We have had the most glorious September.

Warm, sunny, and generally delightful.

I do not like saying goodbye to summer.

But if I have to do it, and I do, then I want a long lingering romantic goodbye.

What will Georgia do when it gets cold?

Naked children in the snow is definitely frowned upon.

I will not break the news to her yet,

she doesn't like goodbyes either.

Georgia's missing months

Jesus had the missing years.

Georgia's blog has had the missing months.

If you are reading this,

Thank You.

We started the summer in Vancouver. . .

And ended this most blissful season in Manitoba.

A lot happened in between an ocean and a lake.

Stay tuned.

P.S. This post is dedicated to Barbara B.  who is not obligated to read this blog (because she isn't family), but does so anyway and that might just MAKE her family.

Bliss

I have been so delinquent dear blog.

Many events have come and gone without nary a picture.

I promise to catch up.

In the mean time here is a simple moment.

A blissful moment.

A totally two year's old and loving it moment.

Goodbye Mimi Mae

This is my grandma (Mae) with Georgia Mae last November.

They got along famously.

Both spunky and beautiful.

We had such a nice time together.

You know lots of girl talk and giggling.

We loved every minute of the visit.

We were going to relive it all over again in two weeks.

We didn't get to say goodbye,

but that's okay because goodbyes are really hard.

Instead we look forward to the next hell0.

We love you gram.

P.S. After hearing the news I hung up the phone and whispered goodbye.

Georgia went to the door and waved and blew a kiss.

What a great send-off.
