LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

We fell in love with Bellingham and it's surrounding region when we first arrived here, and the love affair goes on. It's been 5 years now and we are still discovering new sights and adventures in the area. Every March we celebrate our own "Bellingham Day", when we visit a new place or go on an adventure that would not have been possible back in the Midwest. This year Shawn and I were planning on a hike ending with fish and chips at a local seaside cafe. However, all 3 boys wanted to go up to Baker and play in the snow. So up the Mountain we went. It was a great day with lots of fun and play. Shawn, Christian and Ethan started out skiing as Nolan and I went snowshoeing. After a while we met up with Ethan and the 2 boys started to build snow forts and enjoyed some sledding. We had a little picnic out there, with hot chocolate, of course. Shawn and Christian must have heard the word picnic and came down to join us. It sure was a fun packed day as we celebrated and thanked God for the last five years.

The boys now and then . . .
