Celebration and Vacation


It has been a very busy two weeks for us! On Saturday, July 18, we celebrated Shane's first birthday with our families! The weather was beautiful, the food was great, and the kids entertained us well!

Being the big sister and having some experience in opening gifts, Faith found it necessary to show Shane how to open gifts.

At first, Shane wasn't sure what to think about cake, but figured it was okay to eat as he saw everyone else eating it.

He soon realized how good it was, and took hold of the piece of cake with two hands and ate it! My guess is he was wondering where this delicious food had been all year!


He thoroughly enjoyed his cake and birthday. Faith did well too, not having the spotlight on her. She loved watching Shane eat his cake, and she laughed and laughed about how messy he was eating the cake!
The next evening, the kids and I flew back to Michigan to spend a week with my family. It was a great week of visiting with family and friends. And Shane had the chance to celebrate his birthday two more times! We spent an afternoon at the Meijer Gardens, we went to the zoo, and I actually played golf twice, which was fun as I have not played in over 4 years!
Here we are at the Meijer gardens with one of my roommates from Calvin, Emily, and her two kids. Two more sets of future roommates??
