Recent Happenings...

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day held a few nice surprises. Among them was a nice Italian restaurant called La Bella Italiana. The food was very tasty, fresh, and authentic. It was recommended to us and we were definitely NOT disappointed.




Fun Times with the Varners

Sat. night we went to John and Bethany's house. We had a great night together. We've known John and his siblings since going to college at Northland. We were all at the same church together. Kristin, John's sister, is Niko's dogsitter when we're away. Niko loves Aunt Kristen. And Shannon was friends with Bethany back in her days at Maranatha College. Thanks Varners for your friendship.


Niko's New Playmate

The last couple times Allie Trach has been over, she and Niko have had a great time together. At first Allie was a little timid, but then she opened right up and found out how much fun Niko could be. She loves throwing Niko's ball and having Niko chase after her while she's holding the ball. Niko probably loves being able to play with someone his own size. They were so cute when they played I had to take a few pictures.
