Our road trip to Winnipeg

Our first road trip (almost 20 hours) was a huge success! We drove through the night and made it to Winnipeg shortly after lunch. Our visit with Justin, Heather, Ethan and Ella couldn't have been more enjoyable, and it was so great to see the kids spending time getting to know each other better. This trip will hopefully become an annual event as it was well worth the drive!

These photos are in no particular order:

Summertime

What a great summer we have had so far! We have been busy going on short trips, swimming in the pool, going for walks, spending time at Meijer Gardens, and hanging out with friends. Sydney has been running all over the place, getting into every cupboard, and babbling away as if we know exactly what she's talking about! She has become quite the little imitator and is so much fun to listen to.

Here are couple photos of those good times.
