Kirsten with little brother Rowen. She is the best big sister ever!!!

Trent and Janel's new home. Janel's garden (grown from seeds mind you!!!) Aleana giving her baby a bath.

Ahhhhhhh Washington...................

Saturday found Kirsten and I in Puyallup on a beautiful summer day. We decided to take a walk to Rite Aid - just a mile or so from home. We were given the instructions to go straight to the park and then a right and up the hill. We found the park and they were giving away free ice cream - what a deal. We each had one!

The hill was just a little steeper than we had anticipated and the hike seemed to go on for miles and miles but we finally made it! (Turned out it was only 1 1/4 miles!!!)

Rite Aid - our destination!!!

Mt. Rainier was a welcome sight!

We took time to stop and enjoy the flowers along the way. That night, after things cooled down a bit, we practiced our tennis moves. See the concentration on Kirsten's face?

He's here..................

Rowen arrived tonight....6:39 p.m. into this mortal world! He came weighing 7 lbs 8 oz and is 20 inches long. His hair is blonde and he is adorable. Can't wait to see him!!! I have my plane ticket for June 26th because he was due June 24th! At least he is here all safe and sound! Mom and Dad are doing well. Congratulations Trent and Janel! He is beautiful! Here's Rowen and Janel. And with

big sister Aleana.
