I was surprised at how devastated we were at the recent loss of our Boo dog. I actually felt quite guilty feeling so sad over the death of a family pet when we know people who are walking through loss or serious sickness with loved ones. The reality is that pets have this uncanny way of making their way deep into our hearts and homes.

This picture got to me the most, as Symon buried his special pet... 

Life goes on though, and recently life has been so full and busy that it's been hard to find an evening in free from events, meetings and appointments.

So much to be thankful for though.  Some recent highlights include...

Our cat Ripley! She is so much fun and such a sweet girl (most of the time!) ... 




Loving my letterboard...



Yay for bags that fit laptops...

Thankful for precious friends...



And family, so so thankful for family!




Lastly, thankful for this guy,  who I hope to grow old with...
