So thankful for a wonderful week to celebrate Thanksgiving! Not going to lie, I didn’t really take many pictures because we were just enjoying our time with our families! Nothing earth-shattering happened with the Sterks this week, but here’s a little glimpse at what it looked like!

Mazy and I got all decked out for the Michigan vs. Ohio State! I’d rather not talk about the game, but here we are in our matching Michigan Heart Hero shirts!

Dan took Mazy hunting for the first time and needless to say, she LOVED it! Her smile says it all!

Mazy came into the kitchen to show me her feet…this girl thinks of the craziest things to do, like putting rubber gloves on her feet like socks!

Our little hunter in Dan’s shirt and hat…

And for the record, I hear she’s got an EYE!

Snuggles…

This girl is getting into all things girly!

I love it when Mazy puts a stack of books on my lap and says “Read to me, Mommy!” Anytime, sweet girl!

One of her favorite books – Shine-A-Light book from Usborne:

I wanted to sew some new pillow covers for the pillows in the bay window there, and Mazy loves to help me go into “reverse.”

Today I celebrate another year of getting older! It’s been QUITE the year, but I can’t help but look back on my life and see God’s faithfulness in every aspect of my 35 years of life! To say that I have so much to be thankful for is an understatement! All glory goes to God!

First week of November, here in West Michigan, sure was a chilly one! One thing that is a natural result of having heart failure is poor circulation. Therefore, my hands, arms, legs, and feet get incredibly cold, quickly. Just ask my husband! Needless to say, a warmer coat was in store and thankfully it came…

Our Trip To Michigan

We have embarked on our second journey to Michigan! I was looking forward to spending some quality time with family and friends, which of course never disappoints! Here is a bit of what our trip has looked like: Bless Mazy’s heart – we started the journey right after she got her 4 month shots. We…

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…

Introducing Solid Foods

This post is a long time in coming, but on July 15, we introduced little Mazy to rice cereal! She turned 4 months that Friday, but decided that she was hungry enough to want it, and growing enough to need it. We are hoping this fills her up a bit more, and so far, it…

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,…

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…
