Grandma and Grandpa with the kids on Christmas Eve Christmas morning, waiting for their uncles to wake up! Elizabeth “helping” Susanna play with her new toy Andy helping Elizabeth use her little magnadoodle I’m going to get more photos off the camera tomorrow…

One of the great things about Royal Oak is how many other Hillsdale (and earlier) friends are from around here! We were glad to be in town the same time as the Coles–and to laugh at how much bigger William is than Susanna (he’s two weeks younger, but about 6 pounds bigger). I have a […]

It took us multiple attempts, but this week we finally had Sarah and James over to decorate Christmas cookies with us! The DenHartogs are definitely our kind of people, and we’ve enjoyed getting together whenever all the kids are well enough. James is just a few months younger than Elizabeth, but he keeps up with […]
