Dear Reader,
It happens several times a year, that the busyness and the fun times of our family carry me away, and much time passes between updates. And there you are, checking this blog, wondering what's up with the Bigelows, patiently awaiting news from us. Thank you for loving us! :-)
I am humbly happy to report that our family was SPOILED with a lovely Polynesian vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii in late June and early July. DJ's parents blessed us this year with 14 days in Paradise.

 |
| I seem to have caught DJ with a happy expression on his face as he interacted with his mother. |
|
 |
| I was amazed at how blue and how clear and how warm and how lovely the waters of Hawaii are. Our children liked it!! |
|
 |
| Stunning sunsets we saw - the glory of God revealed in creation is wonderful to behold - especially in Hawaii!! |
 |
| Caedmon had a fantastic time. I love his posture of abandonment and joy in this photo. |

 |
| Our trip to Hawaii, planned 15 months ago, came at the end of DJ's recovery from recent surgery. |

| If you'll pardon the poor lighting on the part of the photographer - here are DJ, Caedmon, and Dan Bigelow |
 |
| Alexandra posed in Brooke-fashion for the camera |
 |
| Brooke loved the flowers |
 |
| My sister LaRae and her husband Scott and their son Greyson joined us for part of the adventure. |
In this case, it seems particularly true: A picture's worth a thousand words. :-) What beauty the Hawaiin islands possess! How fortunate we are to have experienced it.
