The Van Arendonk Family: Lake Anna 6.0
http://thevanarendonks.blogspot.com/2015/08/lake-anna-60.html
The Van Arendonk Family. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Lake Anna 6.0. We were able to make our annual trip to stay with family friends at Lake Anna last month. We cherish this tradition and plan to make our 7th trip next spring before we relocate down south. The girls insisted on a dinner picnic date with Mr. Fran (and their canine friend Sadie) on the patio to start the evening. The first order of business after dinner was taking a ride on the boat. Anika and Amira love helping drive the boat. We also enjoy...

The Van Arendonk Family: 8 Months
http://thevanarendonks.blogspot.com/2015/08/8-months.html
The Van Arendonk Family. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. The reality of life as the fourth child. :) All the same, here are Harrison's stats from last month:. Weight: 22 1/2 lbs. (94th percentile). Height: 28 3/4 inches (84th percentile). Head Circumference: 47 cm (97th percentile). Our little man is on the move! He has mastered crawling, and he is the first of our four children to crawl on all fours! He is constantly on the move, which has made life interesting and even more busy than it was one month ago.

The Van Arendonk Family. Sunday, August 23, 2015. Our baby girl turned six earlier this month! We were able to celebrate our special lady several times the weekend before her birthday and on her actual birthday. As always, there was some baking involved. On the weekend before her birthday Anika was able to go out for breakfast with Kyle. She even kindly invited Amira to join her on her special breakfast date. But she did sneak in a solo photo with her dad too. And their four ladies are nearly the same ag...

The service was followed by a reception in the school cafeteria. Anika was SO proud to introduce all of her classmates to her new little brother! Hadley decided to get comfortable for the show. Hadley als...

The Van Arendonk Family: November 2014
http://thevanarendonks.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The Van Arendonk Family. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Day 1 of Life. Kyle was on call in the hospital overnight on Tuesday night. Overnight Katie started having stronger and more frequent contractions, and early Wednesday morning her dad brought her into the hospital. Kyle finished rounds and joined Katie on the OB floor. About 5 1/2 hours later we were both shocked to meet . . . a boy! Kyle cutting the cord. Such a sweet little boy. Getting to know Dad. He of course was not too wild about his first bath.

http://thevanarendonks.blogspot.com/2015/08/california.html
The Van Arendonk Family. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Earlier this month, Katie and Harrison traveled to southern California to visit Katie's sister Kristen. Their outbound flight included a rather lengthy layover in Phoenix, which allowed for a special visit from Katie's Grandpa and Grandma who live in Mesa. This was their first time meeting our newest addition! While in California, Katie and Harrison did as the Californians do and went to the beach! Harrison's first visit to the Pacific Ocean. Katie's cou...

The Van Arendonk Family. Thursday, August 28, 2014. Baby Bean IV Update. These pictures are a little old now, but our 20-week ultrasound went well. Baby Bean IV appears to be healthy and growing appropriately. We did not find out the gender this time. He or she was a little stubborn in not letting us get any great face pictures. We are excited to meet our 4th child coming up very soon! Kyle Jon and Katie Sue. Thursday, August 21, 2014. There were plenty of friends who joined us for our rooftop adventure.

The Van Arendonk Family. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Harrison is growing up quickly. He continues to be a very calm and happy little boy. He is also quite resilient and patient with his three older sisters who like to give him lots of attention but sometimes lack adequate self-control. He is getting to be quite the big boy, as you can see below! Here are Harrison's stats from his two month appointment:. Weight: 15 lbs. 8 oz. (96th percentile). Length: 25 inches (99th percentile). Kyle Jon and Katie Sue.

Katie made a Tennessee-themed cookie to celebrate. Kyle Jon and Katie Sue. Harrison was...
