Welcome to Van Sickler Family Blog

We are so excited to become grandparents! I think this will be a great way to keep in touch with friends and family as we go through the process. Caitlin found out on Valentines Day 2010 that she and Matthew were going to become parents.....

Lunch with Holly

Today I was so fortunate to have lunch with one of my dearest friends. We laughed and cried! Our friendship is so special. It is so nice to be "on the same page". She helps me to be the best Kate I can be. Everyone should be able to experience having a friend like her.

North Carolina


We are looking forward to going up to North Carolina with our dear friends, Doug and Teresa Stevens. We always have lots of fun sharing our dreams and talking politics. This year we will be staying at a Bed and Breakfast. Hopefully we'll get a chance to do some hiking on Max Patch.

BIKE RIDERS

Andrew and Joel have enjoyed riding bikes this summer. They are getting fit and fabulous. So glad that they have this in common. This photo was taken just before Andrew took off for Tampa where he is in graduate school.

visit


Had a wonderful visit last weekend in Pensacola. Went sight seeing with Caitlin and Matthew. Loved seeing the school where Matthew teaches fifth grade. Saw most if not all the hospitals Caitlin has worked at during the past year and a half.

Their apartment is precious. I loved the way Caitlin had it all decorated for Fall. She looks great and very pregnant. Anxiously awaiting the birth of her little angel. Rose will be here soon. I can't wait!
