Well today was puppy day. After church Gabe and I went to Alpena. I could hardly eat lunch, I was so anxious to get to Jeff's and pick our guy up.  They are just the greatest people. Couldn't believe what a start they gave those puppies. They had him all ready for us. He did really good on the way home. Didn't cry much and never got car sick or messed. We've decided to call him Toby. With his little polka dot face it just seems to suit him. What an exciting day.

Here I am once again not having posted in months.  It has been really hard losing Maggie. I don't think it would have been so bad, except that we had to have her put down.  It was so so terrible. She was such a special little thing. We still have 2 1/2 feet of snow in the backyard and it has been so cold. Maybe once the weather breaks things will get better.

Now on to good news. I am getting another dog. It is another Brittany, only its a male and he is orange and white.  We haven't named him yet, thought we'd wait until we pick him up and see "who" he looks like. We really like the names Quinn, Murphy and Toby. But you never know we might come up with something completely different once we have him home. This photo was from March 13.

I'm making a memory book for Maggie. Here is the beginning.

I think that I have to be about the worst blogger on the web.  I even amaze myself!  LOL

My 365 is still going strong, but my creativity seems to have been buried under all the snow and I haven't been able to find it for a while.  With Two Peas closing their digital store I have been wandering around looking for a new "digital home".  Just doesn't seem the same at all over there.

We still have a lot of snow up here.  I wish spring would arrive, the poor little robins are wandering around in the snow.

Once again I am telling myself I will be doing better keeping up on my blog. We shall see...  You never know, stranger things have happened!

Jen Dipzinski at Two Peas in a Bucket has the greatest new kit out! It is called "ABC123 School Kit" and has lots of hand drawn elements and great papers. Here are Luke and Grace's new school pictures.

We are leaving tomorrow for Aloha State Park for the weekend. Should be really fun, I hope the fishing is good for the guys. Gabe is really getting over his bronchitis and feeling much better. He was really sick with it, and summertime seems to make it so much worse.

Here is 365 week 32, and a couple of heritage pages.

Has it really been a month since I posted anything! I am really bad at this, but will just have to keep trying and get better. Positive thinking can be very powerful.

Gabe has been really sick with bronchitis, so I have had a horrible week. Looking after him, Teagan and still working at the library with little or no sleep is taking it's toll. I had to start taking Bach's Rescue Remedy on a regular basis and that has really helped. He is a lot better this weekend, even

helped me clean the house, awesome man!

Here are a few layouts I've done in the last month --

Teagan and Grace having a wonderful time doing tricks and playing in the swimming pool.

The next one is my current 365. I am doing really good with it.

From our camping trip a couple weeks ago to Onaway. Not a great park, to unlevel!
