Annika has Arrived





Annika is spending her last week of winter break with us in Tacoma. She arrived last Friday and we have been relaxing together. We were able to have dinner with Jake and Cristin on Sunday evening. We went up to Seattle and took them out to a Thai restaurant within walking distance of their apartment. Having Annika meet the newest member of the Vander Plas clan was fun. Cristin has been in South Africa so she gave Annika the heads up on life in Cape Town. Everything she told Annika just reinforced her orientation information at Gordon College.

Last night we drove to Olympia and visited Deborah Van Tuinen's studio and had dinner with her and her daughter Austin. The pictures are in front of one of Deborah's new pieces that uses silver at the top, so beautiful.

The fun continues for a few more days. We'll post more pictures as the week progresses.
