There was a very limited time frame between Clara's birth and our departure for Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was a busy, wonderful time, and one we will always remember with a warm feeling in our hearts, and smile on our face. We were fortunate to have visits with many family and friends...some of whom live close by, and others who made an exceptional effort to come and meet the newest member of our family. Some of our visitors included:


James (Jerusalem) and Diana (Ottawa, Ontario)
















Andrea (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)

















Mom and Dad Dykstra (Barrie, Ontario)

Uncle Ray & Auntie Jean (Powell River, BC)















Mom and Dad Bolton (Quesnel, BC)
















We would like to thank everyone for their thoughtful cards and generous gifts. We feel blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.
