Jacobs Birthday

Happy Birthday Jacob!!

I hope you have a fantastic day filled with sunshine, fun and laughter.  I look forward to our adventure times this summer. 

 

Yesterday I was driving out to do some bear spray training with a summer camp and guess what I saw on the side of the road?!

It was a Hoary Marmot (looks like a big fat ground squirrel), perched up on the post of the guard rail along the road...I think he was working on his tan .  I almost expected him to wave at me as I drove by!

 

Big hug to you and lots of love!

Daniella

 

Jess's Graduation

Hi Jessica,
I heard you are graduating today, and I just wanted to say "Happy Graduation!"
What an exciting time in your life when you finish with one school and start in another ... junior high;
the next step in growing up and education.   I sincerely wish you a fun time with your friends and family.  Make and cherish the memories because time goes so fast.  Before you know it the next grad will be before you as well.

Wishing, Hoping, Knowing

Graduation is a time for wishes...
"I wish I knew what next year will be like!"
Graduation is a time for hopes...
"I hope I can do what I hope to do!"
Graduation is a time for knowing...
"I know I may be a little nervous!"
Whatever you do or don’t do,
You’ll still have the love
of family and friends.
We wish you the best.
We hope you fulfill all your dreams.
We know you will do well
because you have
so many life giving qualities to work with!
Congratulations Jessica!

Love
Aunt Diane 

brilliant polarized blue and green after the rain; sun shining through invisible rainbows; fox kits in full frolick, hollow tree overhanging swollen stream, black cap chickadee fledgelings, a gathering on a rock ledge; robin sings in earnest, grampa john and gramma jeanne swap stories with Jessica, Jacob and Daniella and I and I sigh a deep smiling sigh of contentment :)

pitter patter of raindrops.  peaceful morning.  clouds breaking.  blue coming through.  breathe alive.  no need to strive.  just to celebrate.  the amazing

Time to go outdoors!

Hey there Tinholts!  Thanks for letting me be a part of your awesome blog.  I'm enjoying the wonderful springy weather out in the park and thought you might enjoy this version of Jason Mraz's song...

Hope you like it!
Love,
Daniella

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mother, who birthed me, who bled for me, who nurtured me, who hoped for me, who held me and still holds that space for me. .. It is by you that I know I am and I am not alone. Thank you.

This will make you knock your (daddys) hot pink toenail polish of!!!!!!!!!(dad)

the warmth of a smile
transcends the unmeasured mile
connecting the worlds between
all that we are grateful for

Guess who is back?

She strolled right in like it was yesterday.   Put on a bit of weight i might add.   Made herself right at home. 

Seriously..... how does one go about removing this nail polish. ?i want to go to the pool tonight?

SNOW SNOW SNOW

Our two meter high snow fort that we built on Saturday... is rapidly melting into the earth second by second as it is +16 C outside.  Is spring finally here to stay?  We shall see.  

Ok who painted my toenails and when did that happen?

One Thousand Words

One thousand words

Tells of two thousand pictures 

which tell of three thousand story's

which lead to four thousand thoughts

Which become one million more words.

We love cats!
