friends and loved ones

time flies when you’re having fun…

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.

She loves her Emily a lot.

Here’s Lily assisting me with laundry just last week – she’s such a good helper.

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!
