Happy Birthday Harmony!

We celebrated Harmony's birthday tonight in a shower of ash...we had a great time (and here's hoping those fires are out soon!)

Happy 30th Birthday!

Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary on fire (on and the Across the Lake Swim)

Sigh...Kelowna's on fire again. Well, this time, it's West Kelowna, but it's still affecting people we know.

The fire...

It's been a jam packed few weeks and I think I'm really looking forward to going home and settling back into a bit of a routine...and then I'll be back in Kelowna again in about ten days!

Life and all its blips

Our holiday hasn't been quite what we expected, but it was nice to be home. Jocelyn perfected crying it out - she even cries it out in the middle of the night now (once I check and make sure she's okay) and it only takes a minute or two. Alex arrives on Friday and I can't wait to see him. It's been crazy.

How summer should be

We spent the evening at my aunt's house tonight, celebrating Mama and cousin Nicole's birthdays. It was a perfect summer evening in Kelowna - good company (yay for family), good food, good weather. It was such a nice change from the last ten days...a change we all needed!

Most of the gang (lucky Uncle Kenny, the only man!)

Goodbye :(

"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death."

Sorry, I don't know who to attribute this to.
