We love summer and so does our daughter!

Before Mazy started to not feel so great, here is what our week looked like:

After getting home from vacation last weekend, I knew I had to get out and get some strawberries! Strawberries are one of Mazy’s favorite fruits, so I wanted to make sure to get her out to the patch! We lasted about 15-20 minutes, and was able to pick a bowl full, which was good enough for me!

Mazy is a people watcher, hence her not looking at the camera!

Brouwer Berries (BEST berries you will find), has a cute little farm as well, so I knew Mazy would love that part of our “berry” picking.

She wanted to climb in and pet the ducks in the worst way! This girl is not shy of anything it seems!

This just makes me laugh!

Can’t get enough of this girl! Words just do not do justice for my thankfulness for her!

My little side kick

Strawberries mean strawberry shortcake (my favorite)

Call me obsessed, but I printed the Olympic trials tv schedule because I will NOT miss a beat!

One of my favorite pictures of sweet Mazy. She asks to take baths multiple times a day, but sometimes her kiddie pool suffices. She would be the definition of a prune if I let her be in water as often as she asks!

Learning To Trust God’s Timing

I know many of you are just waiting for the announcement that we are pregnant, but I will be quite honest in saying – don’t expect anything right away. We are definitely hoping that it happens in the near future, but we know that having a baby is seriously one of the biggest things out…

Yet God continually gives me extraordinary experiences, as I am sure He does for you too. In the moment tonight, I had one of those experiences. Mazy is teething and struggles to…

Was anyone else as equally surprised it was the 4th of July this past week? We were looking forward to a day spent with family and not on house projects, which was exactly how it was spent. On Monday, Dan had his official first day in the office, which he had plenty to do! Dan…

My Efficiency Struggle

I am a to-do list girl. I LOVE to make lists and accomplish them. The more things I can cross off in a day, the more accomplished I feel. And unfortunately, often I see my success defined by how much I can accomplish. In other words, I end up trying to do a LOT. The…

It is incredibly hard to believe we went from the mid-70s to insanely windy and cold one week later, but here we are! I’ll let the pictures explain… Here was Mazy last week at Lake Michigan… And here is Lake Michigan a week later… That is actually a road that is completely covered in water…
