So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

'But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.'

Helper

Ms. M is starting to be quite the little participant.
If it's good for you, I want in on it too!

Managing the cords. She'd like to handle it.

Reading books. She's got this.

Doing the laundry. I looked over and she'd opened both drawers and was removing Peter's clothes :)

Oh where did my tiny infant go?!

Bahhhhhh-ston!

I met Ms. Sarah in college on the tennis courts.
I was so pleased to know that she lived in Boston, basically securing a future trip there :) 
It finally came to fruition for her wedding! Peter was super dad; he and Ms. M had a fantastic weekend doing it the way Daddies do: different! :)

We're here! Let's PAR-TAY!!!!!!

The extent of my Boston sight seeing - the back of Fenway before we parked for the ceremony!

A lovely ceremony and celebration!

 Beautiful reception too! All the right personal touches.

 You bomb my phone, you go on the internets! :) Love it! Love you!

Tearing up the dance floor! Thank you glow sticks for saving me from doing my classic snapping while dancing. You're too good to me :)

Oh yes!! Boomerang!

Picking up where we left off with just a bit of water under the bridge.

This is a perfect photo for describing why Mrs. Sarizzle's nickname is Limbs! Like. a. tree.

Annnnnnnnd this was how we felt by the time we got back to the hotel. Whyyyyyyyy????

It was so fun to catch up with friends from college and meet new ones too!
A return family trip is in the brain hopper, we neeeeeeeed to see more and see you again!
Congratulations Scott and Sarah!
and thanks Bevie for your travel planning tips for the area - we need to see YOU there too!

Looking a lot like Christmas

The Christmas Season brings it's own set of fun for all, and we've been having it!!!

Playing with our Nativity Aunt Andrea gave us last year

 Everyone around here enjoys the tree. And they both know they're not supposed to touch...

Helping me sort out the strings of lights

 Who wore them best???

Family photo at church

The tree downtown Grand Rapids! Little Ms. loved seeing the ice skaters and all the lights! We found that a baby is a great accessory, people were approaching us to take our picture!

Baby buddies in their Christmas finest :)

Getting together with friends in town for Christmas parties!

What a wonderful time of the year!
