The Haneys are in town, and the kids have loved getting to play together for the first time in two years! Last weekend, they went along with Derek and the kids to the Reagan Library Independence Day celebrations. And after visiting some family down in LA, they’re back to play some more!

Last week, we started three back-to-back sessions of swimming lessons at CLU. Yep, we’re going to be pool rats this summer. We’ve loved the Parks and Rec instructors, and I’m hoping that swimming five days a week for six weeks will help the kids get really comfortable in the water. We’re invited to so many […]

Sunday morning photo shoot… Tea party with Grandma… Shakespeares! (South side) We found out that Mondays were kids eat free days, so each of the kids got their own pizza as well as dough to play with while we waited. And family devotions with Grandpa.
On our first time through MO, Grandma mentioned there was a race in Fulton the weekend we came back. So Tommy went running with us several times in Detroit, and he completed his first one-mile race in under ten minutes! He ran the whole thing without stopping! Then we cheered on Grandma in the 5K.

Last summer, when we realized we’d be in MO three times in a 12-month period, we decided to spring for a Magic House membership. I stupidly got the one that had 10 guest passes, thinking we’d be bringing Grandma and Grandpa along with us most times. Nope, they didn’t make it once. I used up […]

After a week, my computer has suddenly decided to read my card reader again. So here is a photo dump of the rest of our time in Detroit! The guys found their high school letter jackets hidden in some closet. Wow, they are sooooo coooool. We went down to Ann Arbor for one more trip […]
With a little help from Elizabeth and Susie, Andy and Bailey are married! And I guess I’ll get to the reception pictures another day.
