Last week was very busy – with Michael and I out of town – and it just dawned on me… We missed an important celebration.
One year ago, on Tuesday, July 15, 2014 we brought Tiger Lily Isabella Day home to be a part of our family. It seems like yesterday. Bringing Lily home has quickly transformed each family member in different ways.
Personally, because of this sweet girl-pup I’ve learned how to love better. I’ve come to see how valuable it is to care for all of God’s creation, especially his creatures ; my heart is fuller and my ability to love is deeper than I had ever known. I used to think people were crazy for loving their dogs like family members- now, I understand. I’m one of those crazy dog-loving people.
Here are a few photos from her first week or two with us… I just can’t believe its been a year already!
Bringing Lily home for the first time. She was very shy.

Lily, so tiny.
She loves her Emily a lot.
Here’s Lily assisting me with laundry just last week – she’s such a good helper.
A few weeks ago – Lily, out for a car ride.
what a year its been! My kids said just yesterday – they can’t remember what life was like without Lily! and I can’t either! What a gift she is to us all!
