I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Summer Holiday in the US (Part 1)

It's hard to believe the visit to the States is behind us and we are back in Seoul. The first part of our visit was a whirlwind. Our little family was on the move and never stayed anywhere more than two nights in a row.
First stop: Allen Residence
Hadi came over early the next morning to meet Nathan
We spent one night in Lansing with Sandy and met up for a Crockett Family breakfast.
Claire and Kyle
Tummies full, we headed to Traverse City for the wedding of Doug Black and Andrea Mayfield. We stayed with Autumn and Chad Haag in their historic, downtown TC home. I love Traverse City! Doug and Chad were both groomsmen in our wedding (not to mention, friends of Kyle's since elementary school). It was so much fun!

We swung by the cottage to pick up Natey Wi and headed to DeWitt for the BBQ at Carlos and Kim's. The weather was beautiful and it was a lovely way to end a great weekend.

We spent a couple nights in Ann Arbor so Kyle could work at he Ren Cen without a long commute.

Finally, we headed back to Lansing for the remainder of Kyle's time in the States.

Friday morning we let Nathan and Nana have some alone time while I took Kyle to the airport. We said goodbye and I headed back to Lansing to pick up Natey Wi and head to the cottage for the weekend. 

We packed a lot--I mean, a lot--into Kyle's nine days in the States! It was ever-so-brief, but so very, very fun! Thanks so much to the Allens, Robinsons, Haags and Crocketts for taking us in, we miss you!
