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:

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…)

Heart Journey Update + Around the Home

Our Little Family

Family pictures are always a bit of a trick with a young one, but there always seems to be a handful that always turn out (typically). On this day, we “hired” (or just asked) my sister to take some pictures for us. It was a beautiful day with pure sun, which I suppose for picture…

Here we go…another week in quarantine! Anybody else feel like this is getting old? In fact, Mazy really let me know how she feels about all of this the other day: We were in the van and I told her that when I dropped her off, I wouldn’t be staying. Her exact words, with a…

Have you ever had one of those weeks that has completely flown by, but you wonder what you even did? That was this past week for me, but thankfully I have these pictures to go through to realize that we sure had a lot of fun and we sure did plenty of things. Not that…

This past week we tackled another heart procedure – an ablation. It’s always a family affair, since after most of my heart procedures, some sort of recovery is involved. The recovery after the ablation was at times a mental and physical battle, but by Thursday and especially Friday, I was able to make the turn….
