When will it ever be our time? Our turn? We’ve waited patiently for four and a half years now. We’ve been through all kinds of trials and tribulations. Haven’t we earned the right to be parents yet? What else do we have to prove? I feel like I’m on an obstacle course and the end …
Week 1 of agility class: A maniacal beast who wouldn’t behave and two embarrassed parents. Week 2 of agility class: Progress! We were armed this week with a new Gentle Leader head collar for Kali and it made all the difference. We were able to handle her without her pulling us all over the place. …
Last month, on April 15th, my parents’ golden retriever, Ellie, died unexpectantly. Her vet thinks she had a heart attack. I still can’t believe it. I loved her so much and I just can’t believe she’s gone. It’s been very hard on Mom and Dad and I feel so bad for them. It’s hard to …

The book that I made for our Costa Rica trip arrived today! I love it and the quality is great. I ordered it from Blurb and this was my first time using them. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Here are some photos.
We finally got a big snow in southwest Virginia! Erick has been wanting a big snow like this ever since he moved here. We think we got about 18″ total. We were completely snowed in on Saturday morning, so we ended up hiking to Mom and Dad’s for breakfast. From an earlier snow this month:
We decided to take advantage of the beautiful fall weather and went to visit a local pumpkin patch, Sinkland Farms. We took Kali and she had a blast foraging around and trying to eat hay, smashed pumpkins, dropped popcorn, etc. Kali, Queen of the Pumpkin Patch
Here are some photos from our recent trip to the Cascades in Pembroke, Virginia. The trail is easy and very scenic as you follow the creek the whole way to the falls. This was Kali’s first hiking expedition and she was a little trooper. We learned our lesson though, and have since bought her a …
