The Beauville Legacy 1988-2010
This van started its life transporting athletes at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Soon after, we checked it out in Ponoka and brought it home to be part of our family.
We gave him a little makeover, and named him Pinocchio (because 1. he was from Ponoka, and 2. his nose was super short in sharp contrast to Pinocchio's long nose). The name didn't stick around, but he sure did...
He took the family on many camping adventures...
And transported many MANY groups on hiking trips, sports tournaments, school trips. and various other outings...
In 1994, he took our family all the way across Canada and back (and we have the bumper stickers to prove it)....
He was a well-used napping spot...
And functioned as a cozy reading nook...
He was a restaurant...
And a limo...
He was well taken care of...
He was Marc, Carlynne and my wedding vehicle...
He doubled as a U-Haul on a regular basis, and was a staple on my parents' street. Our friends will probably breeze right by their place without this steady landmark present...
My Dad was his best friend...
And this week-- after 22 years as part of our family-- we said good-bye to the van as he starts his life with another family.
Mom and Dad now have a new van, and we hope he lives up to the G van name!
Farewell ol' boy. You will be missed!

EmBARKing on the journey of puppy parenthood...
Believe it or not, there IS more than Kumeu going on in our lives. However, those other things don't result in such cute pictures, so once again... here's Kumeu!
He already knows how to sit, lay down and come (well, sometimes anyway)...
My favourite trick is "Kisses for mommy!" He's soooo good at that one...
He's awesome on the leash already (considering he's 9 weeks old)...
He helps Mama make the morning coffee...
He'll chew pretty much anything and everything (not so charming at times, but we're workin on it)...
He's an adorable little snoozer...
He already had his first bath...
He LOVES his doting Auntie Carlynne....
And he's just overall so dang CUTE...
Okay, I realize that we may be going a TAD overboard with Kumeu pictures, but we don't have a kid (and he'll only be this small once)... so GET OVER IT!
