more pictures... Kiddos w/ Daddy- lounging on the couch & Riannon at 14 mos....

yeah... a post...

Riannon is officially a Californian... We readopted her today (Jan. 18th) in California- this just gives us a California birth certificate...And of course her California Girl status...
Just wanted to post some pictures of everyone.... The latest.... My Girlfriend's Kitchen is opening March 6, 2007... Angela & I spent 9 days training in Salt Lake City... We are excited to finally open our doors... We're starting to hire employees... Yeah.... Kids are great... We've all been going around with cold & cough, but other than that- busy and crazy as usual... Never a dull moment in the Koopman house...

We've had a blessed 2006, but also some sadness- Ted's Grandma Muriel Koopman past away in Virginia Beach. We are so sad that we weren't able to visit before her passing, but after we came home from Kyrgyzstan, Ted was able to go back to Pennsylvania to spend time w/ his family for her funeral....
We feel so fortunate to have such supportive and loving family & friends... Here's to an even more exciting & blessed 2007.....
