Playing Catch Up
Lots of pictures so I will try to keep the comments brief
- AUGUST -
A.J.'s Family Fun Center
Claire loved the go-carts.
She's a "metal to the pedal" kind of girl.
Henry loved the idea of the go-carts, but speed is not his thing.
He had Joe practically crawling around the corners.
Camping at Cran-Hill Ranch
A campsite with the Koopmans family.
George enjoyed exploring the wide open spaces
Is anybody else not surprised that Henry was obsessed with chasing the chickens?
Back at the campsite. Roasting hot dogs for a late lunch.
Claire and Wes playing Go Fish
Eating breakfast on a crisp summer morning.
Time for Pony Rides!
And last stop of the day...the beach for a little splash.
Joe and Casey even ventured out on the paddle boards.
- SEPTEMBER -
Back to School haircuts.
Trying to put on her Game Face
Even a first hair cut for the baby!
He was a bit wiggly, but did pretty well for his first time.
A happy George shows off his new haircut
Back to School Open Houses
Henry's new pre-school.
The playground was a big perk for him.
A project with Claire's new teacher, Miss B.
George ended up in the hospital after an erratic and
very high fever caused him to have a seizure.
After his vitals stabilized we took him home to recover.
First day of school
So excited!
Until we got to the school.
Sweet Henry looked at me with those puppy eyes and whispered "I'm scared".
A big smile finds its way through the nerves as he waits to head into class.
The first day was a success for both kids.
Sleepy boy recovering from the Roseola virus.
A last minute Summer family excursion to Dutch Village.
We had seriously underestimated the fun we would have there.
There was so much to do. We all had a "cheesey good time".
Dutch dancing!
Several trips around the Ferris wheel with ride-loving Claire.
And the swings.
Finally got Henry on a ride...the Carousal.
Another favorite with the kids!
Our little Dutchman in the schoolhouse
An all-around awesome afternoon.
After a long week at school, a new bedtime record. Both kids asleep by 6:30!
My birthday weekend in South Haven. Just what Joe and I needed.
We found sea glass along the shoreline. Sipped chai tea in a quiet coffee shop. Watched an amazing sunset. Admired a rainbow over the town. Ate a yummy breakfast at Golden Brown Bakery and a delicious dinner at Clementines, complete with a special birthday desert. Perfection.
Silly "Selfies" with my girl.
Whew! That's it for now.
