On the Road Again...


Over the last few days we traveled to Grand Rapids and Lansing to spend some time with family and friends. On Friday, Curt went golfing with his friend Derek and brother-in-law Tim in Lansing. Then, Curt and Derek drove to Detroit to see a Tigers game. Ben and I spent that day with my family. It got very humid by the afternoon. It was nice to be able to cool off in the pool. Ben wasn't brave enough to try swimming, but he enjoyed floating in a little boat. Saturday morning we headed to Lansing to celebrate Curt's birthday and Father's day with his family. Ben was very excited to see even more cousins! We were pretty tired when we got home on Sunday, but it was worth it in order to visit with everyone. :)

Mya had fun in the pool with us too!

 (Ben's face looks like he's saying, "Huh?" which seems to be his favorite word lately.)

Saturday in Lansing was also a hot day. The kids had fun cooling off in the sprinklers.

Jacob took Ben for his first go-cart ride. Ben loved it! He thought he was like Lightning McQueen.

Happy "early" Birthday to Curt!

It was great to be together this weekend. Ben is growing and learning so quickly, it's delightful to spend time with him. Thanks again to you and Curt for helping us pick out a new computer---so glad that worked into our schedule as we appreciated your input and expertise in buying one. We look forward to our next gathering!
Hugs to all

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
