Thanksgiving Tradition

 We celebrate Thanksgiving with our own family traditions. Our favorite is a seafood feast instead of Turkey.  Yum!

Change Is Possible and Beneficial

 A year ago, I made a much needed change and began a new job with Pearl Health. I have found amazing people, support, opportunity for growth, and I truly feel valued. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a part of an amazing organization doing so much good in the world. Their values line up with mine and it's a great feeling! Change can be so hard, but change can sometimes be the best thing.

Foster Kittens

 Look at these babies!!

Annalina Can Make Anything Fun

A beautiful day for a drive! I had a fun companion to travel with! Annalina and I ended up in Salt Lake. Convenient since I have surgery at the University Hospital early in the morning! Wish me luck! Enjoy fancy shots of our room.

Cat Toast

 Miss Melanie helped her mommy make cat toast today. And because they know I looooooove cats, they sent a picture!  So cute. Adrienne is such a good mom!

MRI time

 At the radiologist, getting Joseph an mri. Looking to see how severe the damage is to part of his colon. Surgery coming soon. If they ever finish the mri. It's taking FOREVER!! Joseph is such a brave guy!!

Mother and Son

 Reina is Cayenne's mom. She doesn't like it, but it's true. He absolutely adores her. From time to time she grants him some affection. Or she just falls asleep and doesn't realize he's there!! We like to think these are tender moments for them both.

Juliet and her Kittens

Juliet and the gang

Here's more Juliet and her tinies from earlier today.

Melanie's First Day!!

 Melanie had her first day of school. I am so grateful and lucky that my daughter is a professional photographer and shares these beautiful, fun moments with me!

Funny Kittens

 One of my most favorite pics I've taken of our kittens at the adoption center. It cracks me up!!

Mountains and Strings

Another camp at Mountains and Strings is in the books for Joseph. Such an amazing experience, but the rest of summer will pale in comparison to the exhilarating time he had at camp! I am so proud of his hard work and dedication to his talent. He practices constantly and I love to hear him. Yesterday we saw two concerts, one was a quartet and he was amazing. Love my Joseph.

We did it!! Hammocking at its finest!

Annalina is SOOO talented

Annalina was introduced to Henna Body Art by a friend of mine. She loves it and is so good at it. Here are some examples of the amazing work she does!
