The Best of 2017

came in the last three months. I am so grateful to God that I was able to enjoy these times with family and friends.

Isabella, my little Hawaii baby, turned 3 in October 2017. We weren't with her, but I love this photo.


In November we flew to Portland to be with Sam, Liane, and Luci for Thanksgiving. Daniel has a teaching position at Santa Barbara City College but surprised us by flying up to Portland to spend the holiday with all of us. The day after Thanksgiving we went up into the hills above the city to a tree farm, helped Sam and Liane pick out a tree, and decorated it back at their apartment.





Then we flew to Hawaii to spend a some time with the HI Giles kids, Ben, Vanessa, and Isabella.


This was taken at an upscale mall in Wailea, Maui.


Then we flew back to Portland in time to celebrate Luci's 14th birthday.



Back in Florida we were blessed with a visit from our good friends Mike and Diane Bloom, who celebrated Christ's birth with and our other friends, The Brothers and Irene Pabst with dinner at our house. They also celebrated my birthday with a trip to the movies. 



It was a wonderful ending to a great year.
