One major "event" in 2014 was brain surgery that Joe had in May to
remove a tumor. How we do praise God for a successful result.
In March, Tracie accepted a new position with Microsoft and moved from Belgium to Seattle. She is enjoying living downtown Seattle near the waterfront and spending time with Greg, Cathy, Madi, and extended family.
In September, we traveled to Washington for a family get-together and ... at last ...
we got a nice family portrait.
On day one, Joe just had to get clam strips on the Seattle waterfront. Later, we went back to
La Hacienda in Arlington for the best Mexican food anywhere. We also enjoyed Romio's Italian in Belltown, and a great Seahawks game at the 520 Grill in Bellevue. Also took a day-trip
to Northwest Trek
and a ferry excursion from Edmonds to Kingston, to Poulsbo, and Bainbridge ferry back to Seattle.
In December, we enjoyed a delightful weekend excursion to Coronado
Island near San Diego. Oh, the beach, the beach, the wonderful beach!
Last year, we started a new tradition to share The 20 Most Important Virtues ... one for each year for 20 years (we hope).
Last year, the theme was Love. This year, the theme is Joy.
