Katherine's 2nd birthday

Grandma and Grandpa Van Hook came to visit for the weekend of Kate's 2nd birthday (February 9th, 2014).  She had fun playing with them!  And eating cupcakes, of course.

Kate had fun rolling the ball with Grandpa.

Florida visit for Great-Grandma's 90th birthday!

We spent a few days in Florida right after New Year's to celebrate Great-Grandma Van Hook's 90th birthday!  It was great to see the Van Hook relatives, including Kate's grandparents, aunts, and uncles.  (Thanks to Uncle Josh for taking most of these photos.) Happy belated birthday, Marge!
