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!

Trying to Explain the Unexplainable

One week later. I can honestly say that we are just as shocked today at the news we heard, as we were last Thursday. It has officially been a week, even though it seems like yesterday. We have been extremely busy this past week so we haven’t had a chance to talk about and process…

When Peace Like A River

I know yesterday I talked a lot about Christ’s death on the cross, but I just haven’t stopped thinking about it. Easter is one of those “holidays” that I NEVER want to overlook because of business or just not taking the time to think about. Every year I try to spend more and more time reflecting…

Update on Mazy

Well, since Mazy’s surgery on Tuesday, things maybe haven’t gone like we thought they would. We were hoping for that “different kid” that the doctor talked about, but she was struggling. Tuesday, the day of the surgery, she took a long morning nap and napped well in the afternoon, so we were thinking “hey, things…

As much as we loved and miss our time in the Keys, it felt good to be home this week. We sure missed our Miss Mazy! Dan has been incredibly busy with work, so I was able to catch up on things with home with Mazy’s help! Here’s what we kept busy doing: Forget standing…

Hello May! Dan and I were just saying to each other, “What have we done the past 7 weeks during quarantine?” For the most part, it’s been projects outside and I feel like we’ve found plenty to do. But what I realized is that usually in life, we live by “markers”. We look forward to…

The Sterks FINALLY Got a Puppy!

If you know the Sterks, you know that we have been talking about getting a dog for way too many years. And really, that is an understatement! Dan grew up breeding golden retrievers and I grew up with a dog (I know, not as exciting as Dan…) Then our daughter was born. She became interested…
