Around the Home

June 22, 2020

Hello SUMMER! It came in with a heatwave here in Michigan…how about where you live? Dan and I had the blessing of painting the exterior of someone’s home this week (an unofficial side job), which made us quite busy, but was definitely worth it. We were glad we finished when we did before the humidity hit hard as well! And now our pool is in the low 80s (warmest it’s ever been), and it’s only JUNE! Here’s what the week looked like outside of painting:

One evening we took a sack supper out to the beach, watched the boats go out, and of course, played in the water!

And the sand…

Mazy LOVES pictures. Being in them, taking them, scrolling through them…and here’s her professional photography skills at their finest:

Celebrating this rad dad:

On Father’s Day, we took a little family walk around the Outdoor Discovery Center and played a bit too…

Couldn’t be more thankful for this man. He shows his love for Mazy in so many ways and it is clear by this picture, how much she loves her daddy and how much he loves her (even though she’s trying to pull his shirt off…)

These Days…

Lots going on! First of all, my heart goes out to those who lossed loved ones on 9/11 – also to those who are continuing to lose loved ones as our country continues to fight the war on terrorism. Sacrifices are continually being made. As I sit here in the comforts of my own home,…

Family Life – Blest Be The Tie That Binds

With moving to Minnesota, many have said “and you are moving away from family?” Yes, we are. The human side of me says it will be hard, but when keeping Christ as the center, I know God will use it all for the good. It may not be easy, but I believe that God ONLY…

Around The Home

Oh what fun the snow has been! We spent plenty of time outside this past week, enjoying every snowflake we could…even eating a few! Yes, I still have this child-ish side of me! We spent a lot of time at home this past week, which of course isn’t a bad thing, but that meant we…

Our Trip To Beaver Island

Back to reality! We spent the past week with Dan’s family, on Beaver Island. It was a great week exploring all that Beaver Island has to offer, but most of all, spending time together as a family! Unfortunately it rained every single day at some point, except one, with most days being pretty wet. Nevertheless,…

Around The Home

This past week has been a true test of our faith in many ways. The week necessarily didn’t go as planned with my heart procedure and we had both of our vehicles gives us major issues this week. But we can honestly look back and say that God has been faithful and continues to provide…

Little a This, Little a That

Here’s what’s been going on… Dan and I went for a walk the other night to get a good view of the lake (it’s only like 6 blocks away), and were just shocked at how it became 2/3 the way through April already. It’s on those walks that we just get caught up with each…
