A Year in Pictures

I've decided that I need to be a little more proactive at reflecting on the good fortune in my life. I have so much to be thankful for and so many talents that I need to nurture. I love taking pictures so what better way to get a look at the great things going on around me than to document them in photos. I think it is important for me to journal about the photos too, more of a way for me to reflect and remember rather than boast or bore you!
I hope this works!

Rocko found a baseball at the park yesterday and in chasing it around got totally covered in mud!  He was in his glory!
He didn't love getting hosed down afterwards though:)

Friday night entertainment!
Rocko and Jovi wrestling. Jim has the video footage if you need a good laugh.
Beautiful night for sitting out with a corona and some nachos.

Way to go Jovi!
He did a great job at his first puppy class tonight!
He did all of the things that we asked him to do and he got along well with all the other puppies.

I keep getting a server error.
You don't get to see my spring flower pictures tonight!
Everything is blooming on the escarpment, violets and trillium.
I'll post it tomorrow.

They are playing tug with a tiny little Santa hat.
I'm not sure why, but I think that it must be Rocko's favourite toy and by default, Jovi's favourite too.
They are really great buddies.

Finally a picture of Jake!
He's got all his gear on and this is the night before his dirt bike debut.
He went into his first official race on Sunday.
It lasted two and a half hours and was quite grueling.
Still waiting on the results...

I honestly could not pick my picture today!
I had such an awesome morning with my parents today that I couldn't
narrow it down to one or two photos.  We had a leisurely breakfast and then took the dogs for a walk on the escarpment at kinsmen park.  It was so beautiful with the trilliums and other flowers blooming that we kept snapping photos.
  The dogs enjoyed the freedom and the muck, while we enjoyed
 the fresh air and the connection with nature and beautiful rock
 formations on the escarpment.
Loved our precious time together
mom and dad.
Love you,
chrissy

Finally a sunny day!
I guess it's water season again.  I avoided the pond at the beginning of our walk but Rocko found this widened part of the river on our trek back.
Welcome back, wet dog smell!

It's hard to believe that my Rachie is already going to graduate this year!
Time flies by, so remember to make the most of it.
Love you, Rachel!
