Friday Fun Day!

Day 3 in Zeeland was a relaxing blur! Jill and I were just saying that we thought that our week together would consist of a little more down time. However, with a new born, cooking, cleaning, errands, baths, and chasing busy boys, we are exhausted! It has been wonderful to just do life together, dreaming of what it would be like to be able to live close and raise our families side by side!

This morning we started the day off bright and early! Nolan woke up at 5:45 a.m. raring to go! Normally at home if he wakes up early I can give him his blankie and paci and he goes back down. But we are sharing a room here and he knew I was just a few feet away. So, to him, it was not time to sleep, it was time to play!

Later in the morning, Jill's sister Val came over to take some pictures of Nolan! She is a very talented photographer, you can check out her work here: Waterlily Photo. She'll be posting some of her favorite shots of Nolan soon.

Here is a picture of our gift to Rowan! It was made by a local crafty mom. She made Jill's diaper bag in the matching brown floral fabric. It was supposed to be a surprise for Jill, but through and unfortunate chain of events the secret was foiled! But didn't it turn out so cute!? And it looks great in the nursery too!

Rowan Caroline- she's such a tiny little thing! 2 weeks old and still smaller than Nolan was when he was born!

I took the boys out for a walk in the wagon on a crisp Spring afternoon!

Boys will be boys! Nolan LOVES Trey! He laughs histarically at him and even loves to kiss him! They kept kissing each other over and over again! If only their Dad's could have seen them! Someday they will hate us for the pictures we snapped of the action- Nolan totally open mouth, Trey lingering! It was just too funny to stop!

Tomorrow we are off to Whitehall with my parents! It will be great for Nolan to have some Grandpa and Grandma time! We will visit Great Grandma Johnson and the whole gang. We won't have internet access while up North, so check back on Sunday for the next installment of our Michigan adventure!

Sounds like a fun trip!!! ISn't it funny how life changes with kids?!?! Every time I try to get together with friends and the kids, we barely get a chance to "catch up" and visit....it's more like: "stop that", "NO", "come here", "sit still", etc.....but still wouldn't change it for the world! Glad to hear yall are having a nice visit! Tell your parents "HI" for me.....
