The boys and I escaped to my friend’s cottage for the work week with her and her same-aged kiddos. (Yes, being a “stay-at-home” mom has its perks.) I cannot get enough of the beach or of good friends! So thankful to the Lord for all the good gifts He gives!



That’s Upper Peninsula of Michigan for all you non-Michiganders. My dad flew in and the boys and I drove up with him to see my Grandpa, way up in the U.P. The boys did awesome on the 12-hour drive there and back and we all enjoyed such a relaxing and rich time together. This was one vacation I this we all will cherish for a long time to come!
