Eero’s visit to Toronto! Charles comes to visit!  The terrible two are doing well!  Commuting is fairly boring! It’s been a SUPER busy spring and start of the summer, but it’s also been great! Next week we’re off to Finland to see everyone! We’re so excited! Hope you’re all enjoying the summer sun! -Elli

SORRY! We have been super busy and I haven’t had time to write in AGES! The blog isn’t dead, I promise! An update will be coming as soon as I have a moment to sit down and write it! In the mean time, happy holidays to everyone! 🙂 -Elli 

Yesterday marked 7 months since Fiba passed away. On April 6th a piece of my heart was torn from me forever. For me, Fiba wasn’t just our dog he was so much more and although I realize that life would have had to happen even if he’d never stepped into mine, I associate him with […]
