Saturday Snap – Halloween Family

Last weekend in Medicine Hat…

RIP Koko

It’s been a month since we lost our cat, Koko, very suddenly. Although she seemed to have lost a bit of weight in the days preceding her death, we chocked this up to her being outside so much in the nice weather.  She had otherwise been fine with no obvious symptoms of illness.  But then, […]

Pace’s First Day of Grade Three (and Grade Two and Grade One and Kindergarten)

Shea ended up posting all these “First Day” pics on Facebook so I thought I’d re-post them here for posterity… Kindergarten Grade One Grade Two Grade Three
