One More on the Way!

We are proud to announce our family is growing!  Baby Kerr #6 is due February 25, 2017.  The girls really, really wanted one more sibling, and we’re glad to give Jonah the opportunity to be a big brother.  We’re hoping to find out if this baby is a boy or a girl (I have a strong feeling it’s another boy).  Our ultrasound is scheduled for October 8, so we should find out then.  I’m feeling quite well (most of the first trimester nausea has subsided now), and I can’t wait to meet this new baby in February or March!

A Few Recent Pictures

Savannah loves ice skating!  She’s been taking lessons lately and is one of the fastest skaters in her class.

It’s always fun to build a snowman on your lunch break.

I don’t think Jonah could be any cuter.

This one’s a little blurry but still good …

Savannah and Aaron went on a date and found ice sculptures near Rosa Parks Circle (downtown Grand Rapids).

And while they were on a date, we were home making Aaron’s favorite dessert.

My date night with Madeline.  Coffee for me and Kilwin’s peppermint stick ice cream for her.

Fall Fun 2015

November 16, 2015 - By Jen

Weather-wise, this fall has been my favorite in years.  I always love September.  70-degree days make me want to soak up whatever sunshine I can before the cold weather comes.  I love 60-degree weather, too, and temperatures in the 50’s aren’t bad.  But when ideal fall weather only lasts a couple weeks, it’s hard to call it my favorite season.  But this year, fall has been amazing!  It’s November 16, and the temperature is expected to go up to 60 again today.  At this time last year we were buried in snow.   

This year we had two opportunities for the kids to choose pumpkins.  One was at the conclusion of a train ride we took from Coopersville to Marne (and back), and the other was at Post Family Farm during a field trip with our homeschool group.  

The kids also dressed up in costumes twice.  On October 30 we went to Aaron’s work for a harvest party, and then on October 31 we briefly went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.  (What a cold and wet experience that was!)  Funny how I mentioned the gorgeous fall weather this year but then posted pictures from the colder days.  🙂

Here are some pictures to share:

Basil Harvest 2015

September 8, 2015 - By Jen

The girls were amazing helpers this weekend harvesting the basil we planted from seed in late April.  It took us about an hour to trim all the leaves from the plants and then about two hours to make pesto sauce.  Now we have sauce for the freezer so we can enjoy pesto all year long.  We made our favorite dish, Peppy Pesto Toss, for lunch today.
