Don't Be Sad It's Over, Be Glad It Happened
Note to Readers: I am posting the fun of our summer while simultaneously doing my best to keep you up to date on "the now." So, the posts flip back and forth from June and July to the present day...and back again. Sooner or later, we'll be all caught up! Sorry for any confusion. sbcAs July came to a close, so did our lovely holiday. Time to start the goodbyes. First, lunch with Crocketts:
Nate is enthralled with baby Grace |

I love these two shorties |

Next, goodbye time with Robinsons, Allens, Gram and Beepa, including one last story time with Uncle Matt:
What a fun visit.

Seoul Sisters

So, the posts flip back and forth from June and July to the present day...and back again. Sooner or later, we'll be all caught up! Sorry for any confusion. sbcJess knows I love to organize, so every once in a while she asks me to come over and tackle a couple of things that are bugging her. To make the most of my last trip to Metro Detroit, I arranged to also meet up with some of our good friends that we met while living in Seoul. Talk about a full dance card!
Hadi was nice enough to not only take our kids while Jess and I spent the day organizing the Allen house, but also host the evening fête so that I didn't have to come home by the kids' bedtime. On top of that, she made her delicious guac and our "sandbar cottage lemonade!"
And more big thanks to Hadi and Jess for making a fun evening with the kids while I enjoyed adult time. These pictures remind me of a big part of the "why" that I liked Seoul so much.
Thanks for hosting and babysitting, Hadi! |

Pause... |
Take two! |

As the night wore on... |
Posing with Hadi: The Hostess with the Mostest! |
Poor Matt returned from a business trip to find a bunch of women partying at his house! |
But, he folded right into the fun :) |

Sorry for any confusion. sbcAs you know, Michelle and I grew up together, including many-a-summer weekend at the White Cottage. I am very thankful to Michelle and her family for making the trek up again this summer so the next generation of kids at the cottage can start making memories.

Sorry for any confusion. sbcAfter a nice week at the cottage, we were glad to get back to DeWitt and have some fun on more family outings. One of our favorite places is the park with our cousins:
Clarie and Grace |

Check out Nathan giving kisses to Grace :) |
But, sometimes, it's nice to just play in the air conditioning:
Happy baby Grace |
Hello! |
How do you get this thing open? |
