Our Trip to Michigan

We just got back a few days ago on our last big trip before the baby comes. Since Dan doesn't have school and isn't working yet we decided to take advantage of the time and go to Michigan to see my brother and sister-in-law and their daughter. It was quite a drive, but we had a wonderful time while we were there. Bob and Emily are such great hosts and we loved getting to spend some one on one time with them. Savannah loved playing with Ellie and always talks about what they did together. We got there at about 1:30 Friday morning and then later that day, in the afternoon, we traveled up north to my grandparents cottage on Lake Huron. We spent a few days there enjoying each other and the quiet, peacefulness of the lake. We then went back to Lansing and spent the next couple of days playing, going to parks, spending great times together. Here are some of the pictures, actually there are a lot, but I always say that pictures tell it the best.

This is Savannah feeding Ellie, she just loved to help out anyway she could:)

Dan & Ellie, let's just say that she definitely liked Dan more then me, but I think he's pretty cute too so who can blame her;)

Graduation!!!

It's finally done! Dan has graduated from school and we are moving on with the next chapter in our lives. The hooding ceremony was Thursday morning at the school. It was outside and it was nice and cool for the whole ceremony. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments. He was a great student, with only one B+ and the rest As!! Here are some pictures of that wonderful day:)

Our fun time in Jacksonville

We just got back from Jacksonville, FL a couple of days ago and had such a good time. We went down looking at houses and apartments and found some good options, still feeling good about renting for the first little bit to get a feel for the area before we buy. We were also able to swim at the pool and go to the beach as well. It is a nice area and we are pretty excited to move to an area that has so much to do. So, as always, here are some pictures of the fun times we had.

Dan and Savannah at a highly recommended Italian restaurant, that was delicious.

No, that's not a beached whale with Savannah, just me. Isn't it a beautiful beach!

Savannah actually playing in the sand. She had a blast and it will definitely be a fun thing to do all together more often:)
