As we finish up our "Wintering in Michigan", we had an extremely busy week (thus no time to do any blog posts). There were friends we still needed to see and others who we needed to see one more time before we headed back home.
On Monday, we met for a play date with four of my high school friends and their children. It was a fun afternoon of playing, marveling at all the kids (there are 13 among the four of us friends!), and doing lots of catching up.
Tuesday morning the kids and I went to Steve's cousin Amy's house. Faith and Shane were able to get to know Amy's children over the summer while we were at another cousin's wedding. So this was an exciting reunion of sorts! The morning was filled with crafts and Thomas the Train. And Steve's Aunt Carol and Uncle Jack stopped by for lunch, capping off a very special morning. I still sometimes think it is amazing that Steve has so many relatives here!
Wednesday evening dinner was at my good friend Beth's house! Beth and her husband have a sweet little girl who is a few months older than Shane. The kids played so well (we hardly saw them!), and it was fun to enjoy a meal with good friends.
Today Faith had her final day of school at West Side Christian. Her teacher and classmates made her a sweet card, and it will serve as a nice memento for the time she spent in that class. In a fitting conclusion, it was Beach Day at preschool! While she loved going to school, she is looking forward to getting back to her Busy Bugs class back in Ventura!
Tomorrow we fly back to California. Our time in Michigan has been lots of fun and has gone very well. The kids did well and adjusted to life here. But all three of us also look forward to getting back home, getting back to Steve, and getting back to our normal (although not usually as exciting!) life! And of course our new kitchen!
