Do You Want To…Go For A Sled Ride?

December 29, 2016March 22, 2017

One thing about Michigan winters (that we kind of forgot about) was that they can drastically change in temperature (not just weather like MN). It was in the mid-30s one day and Mazy’s cousins came over to play. They were sweet enough to take Mazers out too, and what a ball she had! I don’t think I saw that smile come off her face. There is something about taking a little one outside – the freedom that you can visibly see, the joy and fresh air they get, and just the love they have for enjoying God’s creation, at such a young age. Another thing Mazy has taught me – take time to enjoy the God-given and not always the man-made.

Her cousins were so patient with her; thanks to them for making sledding something Mazy now loves! (Of course she has way more fun with them than mommy!)

I just can’t get over the marshmallow look on a toddler!

We had another warm day back in St. Joseph, so I was able to pull Mazy around the yard, which she probably could have done for an hour!

Around The Home

It’s pretty crazy to think we have now been back in Michigan for a month now (though one week was spent up north). It sure has been a hectic 4 weeks, but we look at how the transition has gone, what we have learned, what we have accomplished, and we just see God’s guiding hand…

Thanks For Today

First of all, we both want to thank you for the joy that you have shared with us in finding out that Brenda was pregnant yesterday! We were overwhelmed with the support and love that you all showed and continue to. We just keep going back to the fact that this is God’s story for…

Around The Home

It has been a chilly week here in Minnesota! Of course this is what we expected moving out here, but it always takes a few days to get used to the frigid temps again! Now with a baby, I think twice about going outside and to town because just in a few minutes, she can…

Alaska Mission Trip: Part 1

There is something about stepping out of your comfort zone, exploring new areas, building relationships, and most of all, growing closer to God – all things that encompass a mission trip. This past week, we headed to Alaska for our youth group mission trip, that was intergenerational too. The group of 30 embarked on the…

Making The Most Of This: TIME TO DECLUTTER

If you live in Michigan, life will look a bit different for at least the next 3 weeks, with schools closing. Are you wondering what to do now? Well, the time couldn’t be better to DECLUTTER and ORGANIZE! With spring right around the corner, do you get the itch to spring clean? I know I…

Around the Home

Can’t wait to share what’s been going on in our life lately! It’s not all going to fit in this post, so you’ll see a slew of posts about what’s been going on in the Sterk’s life! From heart struggles, to a family vacation, to fun with friends, it’s been a few weeks of ups…
