Planning an outdoor Williams Park photo session in March is risky business. Especially when our British Columbia weather is so intensely unpredictable. Today, for example, was cloudy, sunny, drizzling, sunny, pouring, cloudy.
I’m going to say it: springtime weather in B.C. is as fickle as a PMS’ing woman.
Between cooperative sunshine poking its head into the party and adorable children doing a Conga line in the field, an Opa who will happily hold a pink purse with the hand-picked flower and an Oma who mimics her Oma, I posit that this was one perfect afternoon of sunshine and funshine and laughter and love.
Not only did we prove that everyone was all in one place on one continent at one time, but we also have proof positive that we have some not-so-newlywed lovebirds. Forty years of happily-ever-after and hearts bursting full of children, children-in-love, grandchildren, and grandchildren-in-love. I loved seeing the cousins play, the siblings laugh alongside them, and the proud grandparents relish every single moment of togetherness. Family is beautiful, is it not? Their Williams Park family photos were the knee-slapping, heart-warming, gut-laughing fun that is made perfect by just a splash of chaos and a hearty dash of love.

Just over a year ago, I was hanging out with Jimmy and Alisha on their wedding day. We were laughing, the bridesmaids were maybealittlebitstressing, Jimmy was beaming, and Alisha was giggling. But most importantly, they were vowing…they were getting married. And now look at them: they’ve had their one-year-anniversary, they’ve adopted a puppy (his name…
Meet Jay. Jay is a trainer. Jay tries to motivate his trainees to do these moves. These moves aren’t easy. Jay does them easily. The end. But, see, the thing about Jay? He helps people. Wholeheartedly. Unreservedly. When I first hung out with Jay, I could hardly lift my arm over my head. A car…
Isaiah has seen a lot in these past seven months. He’s watched winter and it’s rain leave saturated soil ready for spring’s planting. He’s watched Mommy laugh as she tickled him and smile as she hugged him. He and his big, blue eyes have watched Daddy with complete and utter adoration, unaware that the man…
Her time in the limelight started strong. The attention of an entire room was revolving around her sparkling blue eyes and mischievous grin. She loved the attention, but secretly. She enjoyed the spotlight, but not entirely. It wasn’t right. Not as right as it *could* be. Her best friend, her favorite playmate, her most idolized…
Old Hand Coffee is one of the reasons I am forced admit (to myself and now you) the shocking truth: I love Abbotsford. If you’re a fellow Abbotsfordian, I hope you’ve experienced Old Hand Coffee. If you are a local who hasn’t discovered its charm, you must. Right now. If you’re not from Abbotsford, that’s too sad…
