Our vacation to South Haven Michigan (Lake Michigan)

We had such a great trip to Michigan. The kids had a blast and the weather could not have been more perfect. We went to the beach and pool every day and would cook out or go out to dinner in the evenings. We cannot wait to do it again next year!

Sam's First Bike!

The other day Sam borrowed her neighbor/friend Quinn's bike. She put her helmet on and rode up and down the street. Zane and I had never seen her so focused on something. The determination in her eyes was very cute! The very next day Sam's Grandad brought over a shiny new bike for her to ride. She woke up the next morning and wanted to ride around the block. I put Kate in the stroller and she did indeed make it around the block which was a 1 mile bike ride. I was very impressed!! :-)

Kate was 5 months August 17th!

It is going WAY too fast! My sweet little baby is getting so big! She got her first cold a couple of weeks ago and my sweet laid back baby was super fussy. I knew something was wrong because the kid just doesn't cry or fuss much. All she does is smile. I don't lay her on her back to play much anymore....she turns over to her tummy and gets frustrated. Although, she did flip back over to her back and seemed so surprised that she did it. The past 3 days I've also stopped swaddling her (yes she is old to be swaddled). This has been a bit of a task. The first night she woke up about every hour, but went right back to sleep. I think she is beginning to get it, but I also think her two bottom teeth are about to pop through which is not helping the process. We just all love her so much and feel so blessed to have her in our family!!!!

Sister Love Part II

Will it continue when they are teenagers? They love each other so much. It is so cute most of the pictures are first thing in the morning. They both love to cuddle up and Sam kisses Kate and Kate just keeps looking at her and smiling. Sam normally is not a fan of the camera, but when she is with her sister she always asks me to take their picture. I love watching them together too cute!!
