that’s MY girl!!!

today, i am bursting with pride and overwhelmed with emotion! and i can’t think of a better way to feel on my birthday!

do you remember the cards that emily designed last year and sold to raise funds for the local SPCA?

personal  thats MY girl!!!

well, today, she received some well deserved recognition for her amazing efforts in the local paper!

you can read the article by clicking the link below.

“Young Cowichanian raises hundreds for SPCA”

she was interviewed by the paper last week after they learned about her fund raising from sandy, the manager from our local SPCA. i phoned sandy two weeks ago to arrange a time for emily to hand over the money she raised to the shelter. sandy was beyond excited and blown away by emily’s efforts and her success. this past saturday, emily and i had the pleasure of meeting sandy and emily presented her with $458, made up of bills, twoonies, loonies, quarters, dimes, nickles and even a roll of pennies.

i am SO PROUD of my little girl! so proud!

a family session…. with my family and me!

remember last saturday….. when the wonderfully talented photographer, shannon stevenson came over from vancouver to help shoot andrea and dan’s wedding with me?

well, on sunday, before we dropped her off at the ferry, we headed to this really awesome location in victoria and we had the most fantastic family session with her! she is so awesome and ubberly artistic and i am so lucky to be able to call her my friend…. even though she wouldn’t let me have just a teensie-weensie small peek on her camera last weekend and totally made me wait until today for a sneak peek!…. i still love her!

you can see our sneak peek on her site at la storia studios.  and be sure to leave her some comments too! she loves getting some blog love!

thanks a million shannon!

“somethings about bruce”

he likes to golf, he likes to boat, when he wins he doesn’t gloat. he likes to skip, he likes to cheer, he really likes an ice cold beer. he uses oil, he uses gas, he even has a big huge… TRUCK!!
