At the end of February, Kathy's mom and dad came to visit. We took them to Granada where they went to the Alhambra. They also went to Gibraltar and were attacked by monkey's. Joseph and Grandpa used every scrap of paper in the house making paper airplanes. Poor Joe has been going through withdrawals since Grandpa left. March 8 was Samantha's baptism. She looked so beautiful in her white dress. Grandpa and Sister McLaughlin gave talks on the baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost. Brandon performed the ordinances and everything went smoothly. We are so proud of her decision to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. What a special girl!! And yes, we had a sumptuous buffet after the ceremony. (Thai Chicken Salad, Roast Beef Canapes, Thai Chicken Wraps, Tropical Chicken Sandwiches, Feta Potato Salad, Fruit and Cheese, veggies and dip and hummus and garlic toast. Plus some wonderful cookies and treats that Grandma made. That was for all you Van Leeuwen's who were wondering about the food.)

Wow! Sam you look so beautiful. We are so proud and excited for you. Can you believe our little girls are growing up so fast. We are excited to come and see everyone.
Finally! Wow...you'd think you were busy doing something all the time. It's nice to have a new post to look at everytime I check now. Samantha's pictures are so beautiful.
I just happened across this and was so impressed with Mr. and Mrs. Casperson. What an amazing tale. You guys brought tears to my eyes, a big reminder of what a celestial family looks like and acts. What a Patriarch you have become Brandon. I am just blown away. Proof of happiness on earth. Keep it up, life is still not easy. What an amazing eternal companion you have, (Brandon) you have always been one with amazing power in discernment.
I Love you all, (Casperson family definetely included)

Your friend may we meet again someday soon.
