The rest of our visit to Sarah's

The rest of our visit to Sarah's was great.  We went to the beach at Lake Michigan, which was really fabulous.  The whole experience was exactly like being at the ocean, minus the salty air and smell!  We really had a good time letting the kids dig around.

We also toured around Notre Dame one morning.  It was a lovely campus, and very clean!

Jack is Potty Trained!

In preparation for Jack's upcoming first day of school, he had to be potty trained in a short amount of time. He's been awesome! We still have the occasional accidents, but I'm really pleased. I don't remember what life is like without diapers, but I'm looking forward to remembering all about it!

This is his happy dance/muscles move.

Shipshewana Tea

During our Indiana trip we went to a fancy tea at a tea house in Shipshewana. It was especially for kids- they had special chairs for the dolls/stuffed animals, tiny mugs for them, and a fancy hot cocoa bar. We had a wonderful time!

Jack and Colin brought special stuffed animals.

Amelia brought Julie, her American Girl doll that Grandma Debi gave her.

There was a fancy lunch with tiny sandwiches and treats.

Max and Ryan's brother, Tyson. Somehow I didn't manage to get a photo of Evie or Sarah.

Ryan's Mom Linda, and his sister Maddie

Grandma Susu was there, too!

Visit to Indiana

We had a wonderful visit to Indiana earlier this summer. We absolutely love going out there and hanging out with cousins. The kids were looking cute before church, so we took some quick photos of them.

Back to School 2011

Here are photos of the kids in their back to school outfits! Jack is starting preschool, Colin is doing his last year of preschool, and Amelia is starting 2nd grade. Jack lucked out, after I took his photo I lost the light to a storm cloud, hence the graininess! Oh well.
