Family Together

On May 13 last month, my grandfather, Frank Goertzen, passed away at the age of 86. This past weekend, his family and friends gathered together in Regina, Saskatchewan to remember and to say ‘good-bye’. Although it was a somber-reason for everyone to get together, it was enjoyable introducing all of our extended family to Lauren and to our growing Nolan.

After the memorial service and graveside service, the family gathered back together to reminisce and catch-up. Here are just a few of the pictures from that time together.

Lauren – One Month

For those that have been around this blog for some time (about 2 years!), you will remember my monthly updates of Nolan and his hammer. Well, we have decided to resurect that tradition with Lauren. At the beginning of each month, we will take a picture of her with the hammer, as well, we will include her firefighter-puppy in homage to her eventful arrival.

Without further ado, here is Lauren at one month:
