Summer is HERE! We are so grateful to get to this point in the year after what the beginning of the year brought. We were looking very forward to spending time together as a family this summer and we are already making many memories!

We started off summer with a family vacation at a cottage with Dan’s family over Memorial Day weekend. It was the most beautiful weekend here in Michigan!

Though unsure at first, Maggie eventually sat a bit more comfortably on the paddle board with Dan:

Who says you can’t tube behind a row boat?

We’ve made our way to Dutch Village a few times this year already…one of our favorite places to go:

Mazy loves’ dancing with her favorite dance partner at a friend’s wedding!

Another of our favorite spots is the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds. It holds such a special place in our heart and we are grateful we were able to go again this summer:

Mazy was even brave enough to sleep in a tent with her cousin:

I went to Ann Arbor for some blood tests and to meet with my oncologist, to ensure that we can keep this leukemia out of my body. Hopefully in a week or so, we will get the results of the intricate blood test they do, and we just PRAY that no trace will be found!

We are just so grateful for summer, for the time together as family and friends, and being able to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation!

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…

Back to real life! We spent this past week up at Secord Lake near Gladwin, MI, vacationing with my family! It’s something we do yearly and every year, it just doesn’t not disappoint! I must say, it truly is a highlight of my year. We always have such an incredible time playing games, hanging out…

Lots of pictures to share from this past week! Not that we were overwhelmed with things to do, but found ways to enjoy the Christmas season! Mazy started off the week by wanting to swim in her homemade ice rink…she quickly learned by sticking a toe in, that it was a tad too chilly… On…

What a week! Not necessarily what we expected, but often at the turn of a new week reminds me of the verse that says, “His mercies are new every morning.” And every week, my friends! We started the week off with Mazers hanging out with her cousins! While Dan was dropping me off in Ann…
