Wow! What an outpouring of love and support! Thanks to everyone for the well-wishes and healthy vibes during — and since — Felicia’s recent procedure. We are so lucky to have a supportive family and an incredible collection of friends. It’s almost too overwhelming for us to handle: Letters, cards, artwork, books, blankets, […] Happy Birthday to Felicia! She turns seven today! This has been a birthday of great anticipation, and the “party” will last through at least Saturday, when we host her small Toy Story Birthday Party. My tradition gift of books continues this year, with a collection recalling our fabulous October trip to Washington DC and her […] Happy Birthday, Jocelyn! The older Keller Girl turns 12 today, temporarily doubling-up her sister for the last time, if only mathematically.

For Part One of the promise gift, we took Kiana to Great America on Thursday for a full day of thrill rides and fun. She was […] OK, sure … maybe we celebrated it already with cake and a fancy dinner last month. But in case you missed it, here’s the bead necklace and video created by the martin clan in honor of Jan’s 70th Birthday, which is technically today! Happy Birthday, Nana! […] Happy Birthday, Felicia! To celebrate another fantastic year of Felicia, we turn to inspiration from a chapter book series that she’s recently discovered: The Magic Tree House.
