A fun morning outing to the Meijer Gardens with my mom and the girls! I'm not sure who was more excited about the train display and garden: me or Alena. :) Definitely a must see!

Nothing like the sweet indulgence of making the annual chocolate peanut butter balls on baking day at my mom's house. I just had to spoil Alena too. :)

I didn't get my camera out in time, but Nora was intentionally playing peek-a-boo with the little blanket in her hand... so cute!

Taking a coffee break during a shopping day with my Mom and sisters. Thanks for the Christmas money to spend on treating ourselves at the outlets Mom!

Such a cute book!

Community at its best. Our friend Dave cuddling up with Nora at Sunday night small group.

Yet another trip to see the little train, after Alena and I took my dad out for breakfast as his birthday present from us. Alena excitedly showed Grampie everything. She's becoming an expert since it was our third time there already!

Thankful today for a beautiful morning, a healthy body that is able to slip these shoes on and go for a run, and my friend Marguerite, who took turns with me running and watching our kiddos!

Alena and Jack helping Grandma clean the floor (on their own initiation of course). :)

3 days later, we finally took a picture of our new egress window that Reuben put in, thanks to the help and expertise of 3 other guys. Let the basement project take off!

My mom got our old play kitchen out of her basement and cleaned it all up. Let's just say it entertained Alena for hours. And brought back so many memories for me!

Happy 2nd birthday Jack! Hard to believe that this big, healthy, happy boy was 9 weeks premature when he was born!

Ah.... time to relax together after a long week of Reuben gone many evenings with parent-teacher conferences.
