Around The Home
What a wonderful week we had in Michigan this past week! It had been quite some time since we saw our families last, so it was a blessing to be able to spend that quality time with them! Of course it absolutely flies by, catching up with everyone we can, but it was amazing. The drives went very well (we left a bit early due to a nasty storm that was supposed to hit Minnesota the day we were to leave). Mazy slept well in the car when it was time to sleep and it is always a relief when we arrive at our destination.
I took very few pictures last week because I spent too much time enjoying the moment we were in! To put into words how much Mazy LOVED seeing her cousins, well, words can’t describe. Before, she often got overstimulated and overwhelmed, and would just cry, but this time it was a different story! Granted it helped to have a healthy child too, but she just ate up every minute with them, chasing them around, joining in when she could, and just showing them what she thought was cool, all while trying to be like them. Moments I treasure!
We do plan on heading back to Michigan for Christmas, so just a few short weeks back in MN and then we will be back on the road again!
Here are just a few pics I DID take:
Out to eat with grandparents – we got a slice of chocolate cake and as you can see, Mazy enjoyed every bite she had!
My parents have one of those Amish rocking horses that is also a desk and high chair. Mazy got pretty “violent” with her rocking, but boy did she love it!
Sunday before church
And one of my favorite pictures! I asked Mazy to take a picture with Mommy and this is what I got. When Dan and I go to bed at night, we just can’t believe that she is OURS. That God would give her to us. Would bless us in such a tremendous way with the most adorable, fun-loving, and full-of-life child. She is our little miracle and every night we praise God for her. It takes everything in us to not quick grab her and hug and kiss her to pieces. We just couldn’t be more thankful! We remember Thanksgivings of the past, where our hearts were just so broken, wishing we had our twins. But God sure had a grand purpose in mind and works for the good. OH does He work for the good. Just look at this picture…makes me cry tears of joy, still to this day.
