All under one roof!

Since my last post, I realized, I never post of our reunion.  We have all girls under one roof.  We picked up Leah in July and it felt so good.  The twins said to me, as Leah was coming down the escalter in the airport, "look at dad!"  The smile and tears on his face said it all.  She's back!!!!
She had an amazing time.  And I can't speak for her personally, but I'd say Africa was life changing.  She will be speaking at church at some point and telling of her adventures.
From a mom's standpoint, she's different.  She's content, she's grown up, she's mature.  She's so fun!  Leah started working at Holland Hospital in ER and will start college again in the fall.

Then Megan turned 16 and Ashley turned 14.   YIKES!!!!  I've said it so many times, "stop time now!!"   I love each stage, but why are there so many stages.  I feel like we've lost Megan.  She has her car and will travel :)  Can't blame her, Steve and I did the same thing.  I just miss her.  I'm excited for her to be with friends and find her way in life. 

Ashley just made the Freshman Volleyball team.  Nice job Ash!  That'll be our next few months entertainment.  

White car's at the Koeman's.  I see a pattern :)  

Then there are the twins.  It's been 10 years that Brooke started our SCID journey.  I think back and see how far we've come, with SOOOOO much help.  We have been on this journey with so many people.  The support and love that we have seen is hard to wrap our arms around.  Brooke is doing far better than ever expected.  She has her "glitches" but nothing that stops her from trudging on.  Where she falls short, Macy picks up the slack.  They were able to participate in a Make a wish 5k  and they started  4th grade  It's crazy how I can remember close to every detail from 10 years ago and it seems like yesterday, but I'm so happy it was 10 years ago.  God has been our comforter, provider and brought us a peace that only comes from Him.  

Here's to another 10 years!!!
