More visitors, more sun!



Grant & DKM have been in Vernon all week after driving Norman to meet his new family. When we decided to get another dog after Bailey we had no idea that we'd be moving to the island, starting a business, living next door to the Twilight Zone, and owning a house with dark hardwood floors. We love him, but in reality his big goofy self was too much for us. The kids were tired of losing their toys & even they put up no fight when we brought the subject up. 

So we called Lisa who we'd got him from & before the words came out our mouths she had a family who wanted him. That made our decision much, much easier. Grant & the kids met the new family & we know he will be living on an acreage and will be around his brothers & his momma on a regular basis.

We'll miss him but we won't miss the hair. 

Katrina & Korben came to stay with us for 4 days last week. The kids had such a blast at the beach, riding the bumper boats, rock climbing, playing at the wave pool, cougar hunting...etc, etc. Drew has been missing his friends terribly & to have Korben come to visit was exactly what he needed.

Faces full of burgers - poor Mara was feeling left out!

That's okay, soon after she got to be a big girl who"lunches"
