The Cowells came to the North West and we got to see them for too short.  



Museum of glass




Ethan and Saùl have been great friends over the years.  We miss them being around the corner from us in Germany. 




John's and Phoebe were able to come too with their three adorable kids.  We had so much fun seeing the cherry blossoms and walking around the capitol. 









This boy/man is 14!  Where did the time go.  I love he appreciates good humor and is just the best. 


The party.

 
Ike has been doing choir for school.  It is so fun to watch him.
