Aloha



Kurt's folks just returned from a wonderful trip to Hawaii and they look tan and relaxed! They had a great time and said it was beautiful and sunny every day. Now, that sounds awesome.

Sue made this beautiful fresh flower headband for Sadie and carried it all the way back from Hawaii. Sadie did not want it on her head, so we only got this one shot. It was so thoughtful of Susie to do that - thank you so much for the lovely gift, it is gorgeous!

We are really glad to have them back and Sadie missed them tons. Welcome back to the cold weather, guys :)

Could it be spring? So many good things!


The sun is shining and it is above 20 degrees - could it be springtime in Michigan? I sure hope so. This winter has been pretty long for me, but I am ready to shed those dark, wintery blues for warm days, sunshine, and lots of ice cream!

It's been a while since I last posted, so just wanted to share with you what is happening in our lives.

First and best - we are expecting baby D #2 in mid-August. Things are going really well and after a very fun (I am being sarcastic here) first trimester, I am finally feeling better and getting my energy back. We are so excited to be experiencing this again and can't wait to meet the little one. And for all of you that want to know what we're having... It's a BABY! You'll have to wait until August :)

Second and pretty cool - Kurt is doing awesome and is going to launch our kid's clothing line pretty soon. We are calling it Pirates & Pigtails and we are starting with a few super adorable t.shirts! We'll keep you posted on all the fun details.

Third - I just wanted to share some fun pics from the past few weeks. Sadie is a delight and so much fun to be around. She sings all the time and is pretty hilarious. Last night, we were driving to a friends house and she said 'I love cars... they are so cute.' Kurt and I just cracked up.

Snowy and cold Ludington - this is just a week ago! Let me tell you, I have never seen so much snow. It was so fun to see mom & dad, relax in the hot tub, and play in the snow!


The sun is shining!!!! We got to visit the fire station for one of our friend's birthday party - it was super fun!



Bonjour Butterfly! The butterflies are blooming at Fredrick Meijer Gardens and it is such a spectacular sight. If you have not been, you must go! Sadie had a love/hate relationship with the little buggers - she adored them from far away, but as soon as one flit toward her she freaked out.
