I thought my kitchen lights might get fixed today, but instead the guy delivered these roses to me! What a surprise.  I love them.  I love you, Jeremy!

Love, Khara

Feb. 9  This is me and my sister Teresa.  She is my personal hair stylist!  (It's great to have someone in the family who does hair!  Thank you, Teresa! She came up to my house to see us and do my hair and friends' hair too!!   It was a lot of fun!  I'm glad that even though we actually live far away, we live in the same state.   We didn't know if this  was going to happen for sure. We are both glad it did!!  It might not be this way forever, but for now, it's great! We have fun talking about how great the weather is here, and secretly talking about those who are shoveling snow or carrying umbrellas around everywhere, everyday!!  Happy days in the sun!!

John's Lake House!!

This is Brayden, Madelyn, Jeremy and John, and Cole.  This is another one of our favorite things to do in Washington.  John would invite us to his lakehouse for summer holidays.  It was always so much fun hanging out with family and friends!!  Thanks so much John for the great memories!!!

Favorite Family Outing in Seattle!!!

This is Connor, Dawn, Madelyn, and Brayden on a ferry boat from Seattle to Bainbridge Island.  This was one of our favorite things to do in Seattle as a family.  Then once we got to Bainbridge Island, we walked to this really great Chinese Restaurant and had dinner there.  That is one thing we will really miss, not living near Seattle!!
