The Best


Sometimes the best things in life come in the form of friends and sometimes those friends come in the form of really amazing dogs. This is true for our dog Max. We said goodbye to Max yesterday when we let him go. Tony and I were both with him and it was wonderful and heartwrenching at the same time to see. He had been in so much pain and unable to do things he loved like going on walks and being with us. There has to be a dog heaven for good dogs like Max.

This picture is how I will always remember him: happy, full of energy, and enjoying being in the mountains with us. We love you Max.

Don't try to change her

This is a conversation I had with Jacob yesterday after catching Lila standing on his nightstand.

Me: Jacob, why does your sister have to climb on everything?
Jacob: Mom, that is just how Jesus made her, so don't try to change her.

I guess he is right.

Here is a picture of one of the less dangerous places I found her climbing.
