Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts on Katie's 18th birthday. They brought more comfort to my heart than words can express. We had as good a day as possible, under the circumstances. We went to one of her favorite restaurants for dinner, and looked at old photos of happy times together.

We went away a few days afterward to see my parents. My dad just turned 86, so we celebrated with him - Happy Birthday, Kappa!
Unfortunately, my mom wasn't feeling well, so the celebrations were low-key, and there aren't any good group photos. Fortunately, she is now feeling much better - hooray for antibiotics, when needed!

Such beautiful photos of your dear family, Karen. I especially love the water in them -- it looks so refreshing --
Happy birthday to your beloved papa!
David looks CUT. Wowza! He's become a young man before our blogging eyes, ha ha ha! He could pose for 24 Hour Fitness ads.
Ok, I'll stop. I'm beginning to sound like a creeper cougar.

You are cracking me up, KBL - believe me, I am getting used to hearing it! He has changed so much since I started this blog that you have more or less watched him grow up in photos. It was especially noticeable after he spent last semester in Europe - much more mature and confident.
Hugs to you and your brood!
Marvelous vacation shots. And not just David--all of you look exuberant. So glad you had that time.
I love this update! Great photos of your young man having fun.....happy belated to your sweet Dad. Glad your mom is feeling better. XOXO
