Little Things

Yesterday, the kids and I had a relaxing day. We went to Wilson Park early in the morning, after stopping to buy donuts and coffee :) We sat in the park and ate our donuts while watching the geese wake up. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Sara and Jonas just sat there taking in all the beauty and life of the park. We watched as the baby geese and parents walked around eating, and then we watched as they took their swim. In moments like these, I find myself wishing I had a bottle I could put these memories in, so that they will stay fresh and I can take them out and remember each and every second. I know parts of the memories will stay. I am so happy for the moments I do have, and for the times we slow down enough to notice the beauty of the world God has made all around us.

Milan Fair

We went to the Milan fair with Bethany, Andrew and Grace. Sara and Andrew had a great time riding rides together. Sara always wanted Andrew to sit by her on the rides. On the airplane ride Andrew had gotten on a different airplane. Sara got the attention of the man running the ride and told him she couldn't ride without Andrew. He kindly let me get Andrew and put him in the plane with Sara. After the rides, we went and got some ice cream. We are so thankful for such great friends!

Cousin Kelsey

Over Memorial Day weekend, Aunt Anne, Uncle Nate and Kelsey came to visit the family in MI. We were able to see them a few days out of the weekend. Sara loved playing with Kelsey. Sara was very excited to teach Kelsey everything she knows. It was fun to watch Sara and Kelsey together. Soon, Jonas will be more a part of the action, for now he is content to do his own thing. They all loved playing with the water table Jonas and Sara received as a birthday present :)
