It’s hard to believe that it’s been eight years since Buckley passed away. Thanksgiving will always be associated with Buckley for me, and not just because Thanksgiving Day 2008 was the last full day I spent with her.

Happy Thanksgiving 2016
Happy Thanksgiving from
Allegra, Ruby and Ingrid
I keep a gratitude journal all year long, but I do spend a little extra time on Thanksgiving reflecting on everything I’m thankful for.

Happy Father’s Day 2016
Whether your kids are human or furry, enjoy your special day!
