Pure. Michigan.

I love Michigan.
And Joe got to fish there for 3 days while I spent time with my parents!
Then Joe and I went up to Gull Lake and stayed at a cabin up there to scope it out for future youth group trips :)
Here are some photos from this trip and from the week before when Lucy and I went to visit my parents for the day.

We're here!

We're still here, just without a computer most the time....
Keeping busy with little Lu, we also got to go stay with my parents Thurs-Sat while Joe was fishing with his Dad and brother and that was a lot of fun.
Have the good friday service Friday, Easter service Sunday and then will be having Easter dinner with my parents in Michigan.
Lucy has sure been enjoying spending time with her Grammy and Pops and Grandma and Grandpa. She is very blessed to have such wonderful grandparents who live so close! Also thankful that she will meet her other great-grandparents, Lord willing, in less than a month!!

So thankful that we have Easter, that Jesus was not just born, but that He rose again, he is not dead! And because of this, we can have new life in Him! What a blessing, there is no greater gift than this.

And a few pics of Lucy, was trying to get a picture of her little curl in front :)

Visit with Grandma Bubar and family pics

We had a lovely visit with Uncle Dave and Aunt Mary on Tues night and then with Grandma Bubar and Aunt Mary on Friday afternoon. So sweet to see Grandma holding and rocking Lucy to sleep and to hear Aunt Mary sing her to sleep, sweet times together!






I'm missing my parents while they are in Israel but enjoyed seeing them before they left and looking forward to seeing them Friday and Saturday when they return!
Really enjoy checking my dad's church blog and seeing photos of him teaching there. I bet that is a really amazing experience!







And took a few pics of us one night - just love our little family :)

Visitors!

We have had lots of visitors the last few weeks who have gotten to see and hold little Lucy. It's been so fun to introduce her to friends, family, church people and youth group kids :) She is very loved but we're hoping the kids don't love her too hard and share their germs.... :)

Here are some photos from March 5 when my parents, Allison, her dad and Caleb were at our house for a visit:
So fun for Lucy to meet Aunt Allison and Cousin Caleb!! (though we missed Uncle Dan and Cousin Jack :( )









We also LOVED having my mom come stay from March 8-11. We had so much fun going on walks with Lucy to downtown Wheaton, checking out resale shops, going to starbucks and to brunch, having help with the house, dishes, she did it all and we miss her LOTS!! BUT maybe she will come again soon?? :)

17 Weeks!!

Well, I have made it to 17 weeks - hooray!! Feeling good still, minus the allergies! This means in a week and a half I will have my 18 week appt and in 3 weeks we will have our big ultrasound...though we are not finding out if it is a boy or a girl :( My husband is so sweet and selfless, but there are a few things he's very opinionated about...and this just happened to be one of them, well this and names...
So stay tuned! :)



Just wanted to say how much I miss my nephews and neices...I remember getting to watch Jack and Caleb last Fall when D & A went to a Bears game and now they are in Virginia :( Very hopeful to see all these little ones at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas!!





And last but not least...we have come to an agreement on the house price and signed a new contract this a.m....crazy! We are SO excited! Inspection is Thursday and hopefully all will go smoothly. Here's a sneak preview from the MLS listing - more to come :)
