Linia Rose Van Essen

David is very impressed with his new sister.

Trip to Nebraska

One of the many benefits of marrying Richard is that I "inherit" nephews and nieces! I was privaledged to be visiting Richard's sister and her husband when they welcomed their fifth child/second daughter.

I didn't have much time to take pictures but did get some great shots and cute videos too.

My precious pumpkins! (Or cashew pumpkins-my pronunciation of 'precious' sounds a little strange to Timmy!)

Caleb finds the perfect apple!

The little homeboys chillin' out in the basement.



The next Hatch associate-Lily Van Essen!
