Earlier this summer, Maricris, my brother’s fiancee, asked me to be the matron of honor in their October wedding. And yesterday, Rachel, Aaron’s sister, asked me to be the matron of honor in her December wedding. I feel so honored and blessed! Kayla and Madeline will be flower girls in both weddings, and they’re pretty excited about that! By the end of the year all our siblings will be married to wonderful spouses. Could we ask for anything more?
A Special Date
A couple weeks ago our good friend Erin invited Kayla to go on a special date with her to tonight’s gymnastics meet at CMU. I knew Kayla would love it, and it was fun watching her excitement build as we waited for tonight. Kayla enjoyed cheering for the “pretty girls,” having a special snack and getting to play on the gymnastics equipment once the meet was over. We’re so thankful for friends like Erin!
Kayla & Great Grandma Grage
Grandma and Grandpa Grage flew from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Grand Rapids, Michigan to spend the week with us. Here’s Kayla with Great Grandma Grage.
Savannah with Cousins Ender & Grey
Here’s Savannah with the twins, Ender (left) and Grey (middle). The smile on her face gives you a glimpse of her personality. Though our girls have differences, they really are quite similar–extremely happy and full of spunk!
I Love Wild Turkeys
When I Aaron and I used to drive to work together, we would often see wild turkeys near the expressway. I loved seeing them; for some reason they just made me smile. Well, this past week while we were on vacation, we made a new friend. Though we joked about having him for Christmas dinner, instead we watched this turkey several times throughout the week. You can tell how fond I am of turkeys because I labeled this post under “Family and Friends.”
