Jilly's first haircut


A little out of order, perhaps....but thought I'd share a photo or two from Jillian's first haircut. She was calm, collected, and cool.....though she did cop to being nervous when I asked.

Good job Jilly Beans!

Farewell Gram


I mourn the passing of my sweet Grandmother, Genevieve Bennett. It is bittersweet--Gram Gen had a long and relatively peaceful life (she was just a month shy of her 95th birthday)...and she was in a significant amount of discomfort and pain since falling in September and breaking her pelvis. But, it's always hard to bid farewell to loved ones. Naomi summed it up when she said, "Grams are so special." Indeed.

One silver lining....a memorial services was held in Raymond, Alberta, Canada on January 21...and thankfully, it was 50 degrees and absolutely beautiful.
