Turkey, birthdays and Visitin'

We just returned from a whirlwind trip to Jackson, Mississippi. We drove nearly 850 miles each way. I now know why people say they need a rest after their vacation. We are whooped!

Highlights for the adults were visiting friends, celebrating both boys birthdays and eating Thanksgiving outside in the woods! THE highlight for Zachariah was getting to go fishing with Ralph. Nathanael learned a new trick with his tongue & lips as well.

Here are some pictures from our trip:

Indian Summer

We had a week of 70 degree temps in early November. The boys enjoyed their last few days outside and the fall leaves!

Happy Halloween!

The boys were Diego and a Pumpkin. We had two nights of trick or treating! One night at a nursing home and another night at a church "Trunk or Treat". For more fall pics, go here:

Fall Apple Pickin'

A few weeks ago, on a cool fall day, we took the boys to an Apple Orchard. I love how they pick apples bigger than their faces to eat! Here are some more pictures to view from our Michigan fall:

Nathanael is Happy!

Just couldn't resist showing off this cutie pie. :) For all Grandmother's viewing pleasure. (and aunts, uncles & friends, too)

For Grandma Chris- Boom, Boom, Boom!

Zachariah loves listening to his Dinosaur CD from Grandma Chris. We don't know all the words to this one about T-Rex, but we do know that he stomped through the earth, "Boom, Boom Boom!" Thanks again!

P.S. If the video keeps stopping, just press the little arrow thing that scrolls along to show how much farther the video has to go. Sorry!

It's good for the Soul

Ahh.....Todd & I just returned from a trip Up North. It was our first trip without the boys in two years. Grandmommy & PePaw came to Zeeland while we went away for 4 days/3 nights.

We stayed a night on Mackinaw Island, traveled down the northern Western Michigan shore and a day in Traverse City. The autumn trees were amazing...as well as time with just US!
