Took the kids to the new library today. Lewis wanted a photo in front of this cool wall. When I was there the first time, I didn’t realize this wall was made up entirely of books. So glad the kids pointed that out for me. Kids are smarter then me. If you are from yyc have you checked out the library yet? And if so, what’s your favourite part?!

One of my favourite activities is adventuring with the kids. I love giving them room to lead, and I love watching them use their imaginations as they roam. Even though there is usually a melt down of some sorts it’s always worth it. Yesterday the sky was magnificent, the weather was mild and we were extremely in need of fresh air. I have not taken nearly enough photos of my own kids the past few months. Happy I captured some yesterday. This one was with my iPhone. #iphone

By happenstance he fell in love with Cosette’s hat. He loves it and once again I am overwhelmed by his cuteness. I think he likes it because it looks like his daddy’s hat. Lewis I couldn’t love you anymore #lewisdanielmontgomery #iphone

Got the privilege of working with the @smallandmightyproject today at the Rockyview hospital. I got to photograph precious littles who are in the NICU. The sweet little babies, fighting so hard are beyond beautiful... but it’s the parents that really pull at my heart strings. Though it was annoying having babies that had to be forced to come out of me after being so overdue... they were healthy and strong. I remember with Lewis I was so ready to get home hours after labour. I wanted out of that hospital ASAP. I can’t imagine how I would have handled hospital stays of a few weeks, or like this darling girl who has been there for over 100 days and will hopefully make it home before Christmas. The staff are hero’s, and the parents are fierce. My heart is with them all. If you don’t know about the small + might project go check it out, because It’s amazing. Giving these families even a bit extra hope and a gift in this season blesses their hearts. I think what I saw today was how incredible it was for the families to be seen, for their struggles to be acknowledged. Last year was my first year getting involved with the project. I’ll be honest prior to that I had never really thought much about the subject. Now I know better. ♥️

My brother came to town today for a meeting downtown. He as half an hour free, so we hung out in the parking lot with him. It was fun. #parkinglothangs #urbanplayground #iphone

$I went to watch Cosette song with her choir at her school remembrance ceremony on Friday. The words they sang were so beautiful, filled with hope, filled with challenge. “Day by Day, we will pray, peace for all. Wishing, hoping, mankind will be one. Dreaming for a future to live in peace.” So many sacrifices were made for us to live these lives we currently lead. We might not currently be fighting in a literal war, but there are areas we still need to fight for peace. Fighting for the next generations. Here is hoping I can have even a fraction of the bravery those who went before us had. Their sacrifices paved the way for me, reflecting on what sacrifices I am willing to make to help make this world a better place.$ Happy birthday to my precious friend @kristinanichol what a gift you are to the world but truly what a gift she is to me. She makes me laugh, inspires me to be a better human and she has given me to space to even shed a tear or two. She is hardworking, talented, devoted, brave, fun, loyal and true. Hope you feel loved today friend.
