Matching Outfits

Here are the boys in matching outfits that they got for Christmas. Thanks Aunt Bette!

Our Trip to Chicago

We had the opportunity to go downtown this trip and see where Adam's sister Amanda is living, and to explore downtown.

We started the morning at Shedd Aquarium. The boys had a blast watching the fish in the huge aquarium.

Here's Adam getting up close and personal with a shark! (just kidding)

Afterward, we went to Amanda's place for lunch and then did a little shopping. Seth loved the shopping.

Finally, we saw the Christmas Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo.

First Snow

Winter has hit full force in Grand Rapids. It was a nice sunny afternoon on Saturday, so we all headed out to shovel the driveway.

Meijer Gardens in the Fall

We're trying to enjoy the very last days of Fall. We went to Meijer Gardens and had a blast walking around and playing in the Children's Garden.

Playing in the Leaves

Monday was a gorgeous day, and we spent some time raking--and jumping in the leaves.

Cosleeping Pictures of the past

In honor of Nate's post about co-sleeping, I dug out some co-sleeping pictures. I keep taking pictures, but they never capture the true beauty and love of co-sleeping.



(notice the mom-shaped hole between the boys)

Our New Bed

Yay! Thank you to Amanda for the mattress, and to everyone else who gave us birthday money to go toward our new king size bed. We love it!
