Visiting Santa







Zachariah & Nathanael put their wish list in with Santa last weekend. We attended a fun craft morning at the Holland Civic Center. Zachariah tends to be a bit shy and Nathanael was pretty curious to check him out.

Happy 1st Birthday Nathanael!



You enjoyed your first birthday with three celebrations- which each set of grandparents! And, by the third celebration, you knew what cupcakes were all about. We love you so much - your sweet smile, spirit, "go with the flow" attitude and how much you look up to your big brother- already!

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:
