gratitude

 - Our garden is in full summer harvest thanks to the sun...waking up early while camping to spot moose, thanks to the sun...late runs during soccer practice, thanks to the sun.

United

Cole has had the opportunity to move to a new soccer team that is a level up from what he has played in the past.
Watching him play in their first tournament was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. It is fun to see the group understand the game better and see them develop as players - yet hard to watch  Cole struggle with his confidence. He has moved from being one of the better players, to now one that is struggling with the speed of the game, one of the smallest and noticing the difference between the levels of skill. Jeff and I, on the other hand are really excited for this season - we think he is going to learn so much and gain the confidence he will need to succeed...I only wish he knew that!

Pure Michigan

Arguably my favorite place in the world to be...with most of favorite people. Till next year - 
~such a long, long time to be gone. And a short time to be there.


















Road Trip

 The day the kids and I got out of school we hit the road west. It was a perfect time weather wise to explore the Moab, Brice Canyon (for lunch), the Kaibab Forrest and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde. It was many hours on the road to reach some spectacular places. It was also nice to have a third driver in the mix...Ryan racked up many hours of permit driving! Amazing road trip adventure with these three.
