Katie turned 8. We love her so much. She is such a loving and compassionate person. We are looking forward to watching her grow and mature into a wonderful Christian woman.

Puerto Rico Trip

I won't comment much here because of time, but this was a great trip.

Palomino Island (small uninhabited island owned by the resort we stayed at) has been host to some movies including Pirates of the Caribbean.

Rain forest trip.

Impatiens are native here and are everywhere.

Molly loves impatiens. We learned you can squeeze the liquid out of the leaf of impatiens and apply it to mosquito bites and supposedly it helps. We will try that.

Princess Wishes from Disney on Ice

Molly and I surprised the girls with a trip to Grand Rapids to see Disney on Ice - Princess Wishes. It was a blast and well worth the trip. Disney never disappoints. Here are a few pictures.

Mickey and Minnie were the host.

Tinker Bell was great. She would skate around with her wand and sprinkle ferry dust all over in between scenes.

This was a terrific event. Katelyn never touched the back of her seat. She was on the edge the whole time. Abby thought it was great, too. Thank you Disney. See you next time.

Happy Birthday, Abby.

Our baby is turning 11. We just got out of the NICU. What happened?
