Colby, Rheann and Lucas enjoying winter sport; Olds, Alberta
This is such a small collection of our family photos. Forgive me for not putting them in order; it was a labor I felt was unnecessary. It’s kind of fun to jump back and forth, like looking through a pile you found in your drawer.
I had a great deal of trouble deciding on photos for the book and I know that I missed some good ones. I went through over 1000 images, narrowing it down to around 500 and then cherry picked the ones you have seen in the story so far. It made me cry to see and be reminded of the many wonderful times we had as a family. Moments that make up a tapestry of love……
