I know that it is already the 24th of July. So I’m only a few days late writing about the 4th of July, but I’m sure you can all understand. This was the first year that we have taken Violet to the fireworks. We decided to go to the fireworks show in Muskegon at Heritage…
A few days ago we got rain while we were sleeping. In addition to the rain, we got thunder and lightning. This was good for the plants outside and normally it is a non-event for the inhabitants in our house as well. The other night however, Hayden found the thunderstorm a bit loud. There was…
I’m a little behind on my posting duties. I carry my phone around taking pictures and videos of the kids with the intent to write all about the hilarious and adorable things they do. Mike has been a lot better at it than me. I’m going to do my best to recap some of my…

Violet mentioned that Hayden usually says “Excuse…
So the updates were less frequent than I was planning. Getting detailed information out of Violet about her day at camp is as easy as telling Skittles to be quiet in the morning when she wants to get fed. Here are some highlights from her week: MondayViolet got to see a toad on her nature…
This morning I dropped Violet off at her first day of Summer Camp. She is doing session 2 (Reptiles and Amphibians). This morning when Violet woke up, went to the bathroom all by her self, went back to her room and got dressed all by her self. Needless to say, she was very excited to…
Last night we were having hot dogs, mac and cheese, green beans, and bread and butter for dinner. We gave the kids bread and butter while Libby and I had hotdog buns. Hayden saw that I put a hotdog with sauerkraut, relish, mustard and ketchup on mine, so he wanted to make a sandwich out…
