A loss.

Today our family suffered the great loss of our long-time companion and best friend Allie Jo. She had 15 years and 8 months with us and I think I speak for all of us when I say how grateful we are for every moment we had.

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

Happy Birthday Abby!

We love you :)
I was going to put up a nice picture of all of us but my computer will not let me :(

Happy Birthday Me!

There are better days to have birthdays than Mondays. So Ethan and I celebrated mine over the weekend. What was originally going to be a day trip to Niagara Falls turned into a day trip to the Corning Museum of Glass. While we were there we made our blown glass ornaments. I have to say that we were both a little unsure of what expect but we decided it was okay after we watched a four year old do it and not get burnt. All in all it was a great day and i want to go back and make a more:) And thank you Abby for reminding me that I am now in my late 20's.
