girls night!

I think the Steenwyk Girls Night is going to become an annual event now.  Between everyone's busy schedules it's hard to fit it in when my sister's in town, but it's much needed time out.  Last year we went out for dinner then maternity clothes shopping for me.  This year was an outing to spend birthday money from my parents in downtown Holland (support local businesses!).  No, I didn't get anything yet, but that's a whole other issue...  :)  I'm considering going back to get an antique camera that we saw in a shop window - in the past I've thought about putting up a couple shelves in the office and collecting a few old cameras for decoration.  Certainly there are other things that would be more practical, but my mother has reminded me that it's okay to spend birthday money on something fun.  :)

Last Friday Caleb, Logan, and I joined Eric, Lea Anne, Boden, and Heidi for Kids Tunes and Noon in Holland.  They have a number of these concerts throughout the summer, and they're supposed to be at Kollen Park, but due to the rain we were in the Civic Center.  It was still fun!  We put our blankets on the floor and had a picnic lunch during the concert.  This one was the Candy Band, a group of four moms from the east side of the state.  I'm not sure what the boys thought of it all.  :)

Saturday was Mike's birthday.  We haven't technically gone out to dinner for his birthday yet because neither of us were feeling 100% and we don't want to go out for a nice dinner when we can't fully enjoy it.  :)  We pretty much just had the day around home, which is a very rare event for us. 

Sunday afternoon Caleb and Logan got to meet their Uncle David for the first time!  Now they have finally met all their uncles.  :)  David was in town for Grandpa Krol's visitation and funeral, and managed to have a little extra time to come over for a bit.

Everthing (as far as I know...) went well for the visitation and funeral.  There were so many people that came to show their love and support for the family!  We really appreciated the funeral service on Monday.  Mike's Uncle Joe presented a very clear salvation message - I'm sure it's just what Grandpa wanted.  I didn't take a picture, but I gotta say that Mike looked quite handsome in his new suit.  :)

I think that pretty much catches things up on the recent events.  We've been busy!

Caleb and Logan are doing well.  They continue to eat lots - they have now had squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes...yum!  Caleb is always on the go just rolling all over the place.  He also loves to jump - we noticed that in the exersaucer he tries to jump, so the other day we got out the Jumperoo and gave it a try.  I'll post the movie clip sometime.  Logan is doing very well at sitting up.  I can't believe how fast they are changing!
