Lagoon Pour

On Monday we travelled into

Mission to watch part of the big concrete pour...

 

So much fun!!

 

The rain held off till the job was done

and then we kept up with our childhood tradition

of chinese food after pouring a lagoon!

 watching...

 Dad, you took this pic!!!! THANKS!

 

 Love my brothers....  wish I saw them a little more!!

 Love you Oma!

Cathrine, my dear special lady... had a birthday yesterday!!!

Oh, I love her to bits!

Don't know what I would do without her when

it comes to Printed Matter - she is such a big help

which in turn gives me more time with my kids!

 

And if I'm busy she cuddles and treasures my kids like her own!

A fabulous mother she is! with such a soft heart :)

 

Love you Cath!

Hope you had a great day and looking forward to coming out tonight :)

 

I Heart Faces: FRIENDSHIP

Entering one of my favorite pictures!

 

Mostly because it describes Ranen so perfectly:)

She is a girl who loves the farm, is totally friends with the cows!

 

This calf in particular, everytime that we would

go to the calf barn she would find this calf!!

It wasn't afraid of Ranen and Ranen loved it!

 

I am excited to have captured this sequence of events,

of the calf licking her on the cheek and

her expressions afterwards!

Some goodness of late!

We are blessed with having family around us!

So much fun playing with cousins,

showing off the farmyard,

laughing at Auntie,

etc, etc.

What a hoot!

 

A few pictures for proof :)

 

 

 A little leary but once Ranen was on she loved it!!

 

 Auntie Richelle, Taycin and Tanner came on a playdate!

We visited the brand new baby chicks (about 24 hours after hatching!),

threw rocks in the ditch for Mia

and went to the calves!

 

 

 

Taycin, you're such a sweetie!

 Tanner, moments before the calf started licking his face!!

 

 Sucking the remaining milk off the other's mouth!!

Gotta love!! - sharing is caring!

 

 My BIG little guy!! Love you:)

22 pounds at 4 months!



Succulents!

Well, I sure haven't been very present here lately!!

 

But a few pictures of my succulent planter...

Oh, I love them!!

Think I even prefer these over orchids and gerbras now!!

 

Took the pictures right after I rescued them from the wind and rain outside:

 

 

Also loving the new things that I learned when I went along

with the great photographer, Martin Jongejan (everafter.ca)

Learnt so much!

Hope to be back soon(er)
