Catching Up!

Hello All!  Still gathering information and photos for the Amsterdam post, but that doesn’t mean we don’t go on living…here is what we have been up to.



My brothers daughter got married last weekend and we had so much fun celebrating with the entire family.

 My youngest brother, Michael, his wife Lisa and their two sons, Zachary and Trevor.  

Roseann, my brother Gary’s wife, who was also the mother of the bride, made all of the floral arrangements.  She is so talented.  

 Of course you know Olivia and Zachary 🙂

Me, Olivia, and Trevor

 Lauren danced so much we thought she might give birth that night.  The baby is due August 2nd!

 Dave caught me by surprise 🙂

 Bethanie was a beautiful bride.

 I love my girls!

 This little guy, Matthew, had a crush on Olivia!  He followed her around all night 🙂

My brothers, cousins, sons-in-law…love them all.

At the library the other day, during the children’s reading program, our Township Supervisor came in to address the children.  He is such a supporter of our library and has recently given us the OK to build a brand new facility.  We can’t wait!
The summer reading program draws in so many kids and their families. 

I have been gathering ideas for the small bath and laundry room redo.  

For the guest bathroom we are replacing the granite with a brighter color.  Putting up wallpaper and a gallery wall.  Replacing the toilet and sink with white fixtures.  New rug and photos for the gallery wall.  

For the laundry room, I found this paper and fell in love with it.  One wall will be covered with this gray and black and cream design.  New washer and dryer and open shelving above the appliances.  I’ll get more detailed pictures and a design board later when I have more details.  Right now I am waiting for wallpaper samples to show up in my mailbox.  

Dave has been spending lots of time at dealerships trying to decide which car to get next.  He is also slammed at work and me thinks the relaxed Dave from vacation has been forgotten and replaced with the stressed Dave.:(

That’s what we have been up to.  Lots of biking and running still, Dave ran 9 this weekend while I only ran six.  We biked over 20 miles last week and worked out at the gym on alternating days.  

We both gained a few pounds on vaca but are trying to get back on track- trying to stay away from craft beer and fatty foods for awhile.  And we are trying to enjoy the outdoors in Michigan- we know our warm days are limited.
Take care Friends.  I’ll check back in a day or two with our Amsterdam post.
