May 9

Since May 9, 2009 this day has been a very significant and personal day for our family.  May 9 has always entailed doing something special with the kids.  This year was no different.  It was spent in the valley of the five lakes in Jasper.

On a day like today, I am thankful for so many reasons. Skinny white legs in cold clear lakes, excitement over a captured grasshopper, spending time with my wife and boys.  No matter how busy this week had become, it was just important to shuffle it all aside and take time for what mattered.
