Back to Sweden...

My sister and her fiance, Klas, are getting on a plane to head back to their home in Sweden. It is so hard to see my best friend/sister leave. She and Klas are so wonderful. My kids love love love them. It was quite the tear jerker watching them hug and kiss Brynn and McKenzie goodbye. I think they left a piece of their heart here in Menlo Park. We will miss them terribly but we are thankful for all the time we were able to spend with them. We had a lot of fun Cami and Klas! Congratulations again on your upcoming wedding. All our love, Brooke, Evan, McKenzie and Brynn

Kenzie Conversation

"Daddy, Did you know I was magical when I was born?" (Kenzie)
"What do you mean?" (Dad)
"Well I was magical because I made mommy a mommy and you a daddy." (Kenzie)
"That's right. You are definitely magical." (Dad)

We love you McKenzie!!

What a Day!

What a day to be outside at the SF Zoo.


Is this really January?

Heels or Hoops?

Some girls want to try on their mom's heels. Not McKenzie. Her dreams are to be a star athlete. Although, apparently these are like high heels...difficult to walk in. I love this girl.

Beautiful Brynn

I think we can learn a thing or two from baby Brynn. Smile the day away...(which isn't hard to do with the beautiful weather and my sister and her fiance in town!)

Welcome Cami and Klas! We love having you here!

Family Visits

Evan's parents and two brothers came up this weekend for a visit. We had a fun time with them. We always feel so blessed to be near family after visits like that.
