Claudia's First Day of Preschool

Claudia started preschool this week! We have had a countdown going for the last two weeks in anticipation of the big day - outfit ready, backpack hanging by the door - and she loved it! As her Mommy, I have been dreading the day, but I held back my tears and was just happy that she was so excited. She came back and told us she played outside in the sand, had a snack, and painted. Already I feel I'm not getting enough information from my child!

I can't believe God has already give us four years at home with our girl. Guess it's time for us to share her!

Summertime!

Is it true? Is summer over? Here are some pics and highlights!

and yes...here is an elephant on Pere Marquette Beach...

Michigan's Adventure, Take 2

I came across these pictures and just had to share Jake's first experience on a "rollercoaster" -- the Frog Hopper...too funny!

And, he was ready for another ride!
