activities

Something I forgot to add to my recent post about funny things the boys say:  sometimes when Logan is crying he'll ask to have his tears wiped away, and he's also started saying "I can't stop my tears!"

We have been super busy with all sorts of activities lately!  The last Saturday in July we made it up to the cottage.  Someone at work came across a turtle and put it in Mike's truck, so we had that to take up with us.

Levi even got his swimsuit on and got in the water for a few minutes.  He wasn't terribly thrilled.  Logan, of course, swam like a fish.  Caleb had moments where he was doing really well, and other times he seemed pretty scared.  I'm just glad that he'll at least get in the water.

My sister came into town the beginning of last week, so we've been keeping busy with family events.  Last week we had a birthday party for my two oldest nieces.  My sister finally got to meet Levi, and it was actually the only evening that my whole family could be together - everyone has so many things going on it's hard to get all together!

 Playtime on the big slide (there was a little water involved...)

My nieces are THRILLED to have their picture taken.

We also went to the beach in Holland last week.  My mom stayed home with Levi so I could keep better track of Caleb and Logan.  They had fun playing in the sand with Micah, Jenna, and Claire.  Only went in the water a little bit.  Caleb kept trying to catch seagulls.

Thursday night we had our traditional "adult night" with my parents and siblings.  Mike & Emily weren't able to join us, and Levi came along, but it was still a nice night!  Crazy Horse in Holland for supper, Village Dipper in Drenthe for dessert.

More catch-up to come, but I'm running out of time right now!
