Nine Years!
Posted in Family on Jul 31st, 2013
Nine years, five new driver’s licenses, four fiesty kids, one miscarriage, lots of hard work, thousands of diaper changes, one blessed girl who still sobs uncontrollably whenever she’s extremely happy.
I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Last night, Grandpa and I took the kids down to our new park to ride bikes. Elizabeth, who has refused to ride outside the back patio since falling off the curb a few weeks ago, actually rode for several minutes (albeit at a snail’s pace–Susie was walking faster than Lizzie rode). And Tommy raced around […]

Today we took Grandpa to Gardens of the World, known to our kids as “the quiet park,” for a picnic lunch. It was a little hot to be comfortable, but the kids still seemed to enjoy showing Grandpa their favorite spots! Tommy even took a picture of me all by himself. He’s pretty excited whenever […]

We always wait until the last day to take family pictures. Fortunately, in Royal Oak, it was right before church, so at least the kiddos were dressed up. And I posted this one on facebook, but I love this picture of Matthew and the kids, even if the lighting was a little wonky.
I forgot about these pictures until I cleared my camera card last night. Pretty glad to be able to eat dairy when Ray’s is nearby!
The drive down from Michigan to Missouri went as well as could be expected. My dad met us in St Louis, where we dropped off our rental van and transferred all our stuff to his friends’ minivan. Then Janie cried unceasingly all the way to Columbia. It was kindof brutal at the end of a […]
We took advantage of being in church clothes (notice the girls’ matching dresses?) to take a family picture before we left Detroit on Sunday.
