We started the basement... finally!

Grandpa Herman found a turtle in his yard.  He brought it over to show the kids.  The kids decided to let it go by the pond.

Liam and Lilly got glasses.  We learned that Liam is near sighted and Lilly is far sighted.

Backyard visitors

Lilly had tutoring during the summer, so Luke played at the closest parks while she was in class.

Strawberry Picking!

Zoo

Promenade Park

With construction going on in the basement... we took day trips to scape the chaos.

Dave took the kids to Science Central while I was in Traverse City on the girls' trip

Girls' Weekend in Traverse City

For my 40th birthday, I told mom I would like to take a trip.  I wanted a get away with Jillian, my cousin, AnnaMaria, my sister-in-law and mom.  We would also celebrate Anna's birthday a little late.  Mom picked a weekend get-away to Traverse City.  We stayed at a hotel that had a spa.  We were also close to wineries.  We enjoyed both and the cute little down town shops and great food.  It was a relaxing weekend!

We had dinner on the top floor of the hotel.  It had fabulous views.
