Noelle - Our Sunshine

Our little girl will turn one year old in just a couple of weeks. Where has the year gone?

Happy Birthday Eric!

Eric turns 33

Noelle wasn't much bigger than the pinata!

The kids couldn't break it open so...

The guys gave it a try. We eventually resorted to saving the pinata and just digging the goodies out!
It was great time with Chris, Janet, Matt, Caren and the kids.

Cousins

Benaiah, Noelle and I took the ferry to Thorne Bay in August to visit Mary, Jory and the kids. We had a very special time staying with the Clowars and had a great time with Mary and her family.
During our stay there, Noelle and I attended a tea party/fashion show with Mary and Esther that Pat Rochester (AKA. "Gram") put on at her house. It was so good to see so many ladies from the community and Mary announced at the end that it was also a surprise birthday party for me. It was so special!

Catch Up

It has again been quite some time since I have posted something, so I will be doing a bit of catch up. We are now home and settled into "normal" life again. We have had a summer/fall full of traveling and visitors (photo above from when Eric's folks visited this summer.) It has been great, the time just seems to fly! In fact, Noelle will turn one year old in just a couple of weeks.
