This year we planned a trip to Florida to visit family and friends in Cocoa Beach as well as spend a few days in Orlando doing the theme parks with the kids. The girls enjoyed their lunch with the princesses in Cinderella’s castle and swimming in the pools at the resort. Kelli and I enjoyed spending some one on one time playing tennis at the resort.

It was great to see many family members and friends while we were there. Unfortunately our trip was cut short with news from Kansas of Kelli’s father passing away after a long struggle with cancer. We left Florida and headed to Kansas to spend a week with family and attend the services. It was a long, tough week saying goodbye to a very important and special man.

This was a portrait I took of Kelli’s dad in 2004 while he was here visiting. John was a great man who devoted many many hours to helping others and with be missed by a lot of folks. He spent a lot of time with his church, counseling prisoners as well as flipping pancakes for the local Kiwanis and of course spending time with his children and grandchildren.
