Cadillac Visit

The next weekend after our Chicago trip, we headed to Cadillac to see Curt's family. July was a pretty busy/tiring month. We had lots of things to fit in before Ben started school and soccer in August!

Curt's friend Maike, from Germany, was visiting Cadillac at the same time as us. Curt was able to plan a time to catch up with her and for the kids and myself to meet her. She was an exchange student at Curt's high school. It was nice to finally meet her!
 I really did not get very many pics from this weekend at all! This is one of Ben and his cousins doing a little art/book project at the art fair that was going on downtown.
 We got to meet more of the animals at the Nickel farm.
 They have some funky chickens! :)
 Lucy liked the baby goats.

Hanging out while the grown-ups talked. This picture is deceptive because she sat for like a minute and then just kept going and going around the farm. At this stage in her life, I pretty much just follow her around and try to keep her out of trouble! :)

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 ...
