One last week’s worth of pictures from 2018!

Here’s our dazzling princess, I mean Mrs. Clause…

One thing Mazy LOVES to do is go to the special dollar store in Hudsonville. There is a plethora of items to look at, and with her $3.00, she wanted to go there and spend it! What joy I have in watching her soak in the little things of life! And how special she felt, to go and spend this money…she was asking me daily, when we could go. Oh the sweetness of a 3 year old!

Decorating Christmas cookies at Grandma and Grandpa’s and not to mention, with her cousins…made this girl’s day!

Mazy loves to brush or comb other people’s hair! You will never hear Dan or I complain!

I hope to continue these posts throughout the next year! It helps me take in the little moments of life and reflect on all the blessings of the previous week. It’s my little journal, just for the world to see!

An Unforgettable Michigan Game

Michigan football. The season has begun! For the past (I can’t remember how many…before I was married…) years, Katie and I have made it our tradition to go to a Michigan football game. We usually go to the season opener, which I think, is one of the best games to go to, besides the MSU…

Around the Home

This past week was what I would call a “recoup” week, after being in the hospital for way too long. It always takes some time to get the strength back, and I feel like I’m making forward progress! So here’s what’s been going on: Monday night at Dan’s parents, the kids had fun climbing a…

Back in September, I was uncertain what my health would look like in December, so I decided to get a head start on Christmas shopping and even though I feel pretty good, I’m enjoying the simplicity of Christmas instead of rushing about trying to get things accomplished. We have spent a lot of time at…

Only 18 Years

18 years. The other day, while Mazy was taking a nap, I started to think about the fact that I have 18 years to raise this child. I have 18 years to teach her all I know about life. I have 18 privileged years of having her in our home (and maybe a few more…
