August Update>>>>>

It has been a while since I posted. Things have been crazy busy here with my new job, 2 kids in football, 1 in cross country, end of summer stuff, and visits from family. It is all good, just makes for busy and full days. These pictures are taken near Lake Michigan the first weekend of August when some of Doug's family was here visiting.

God has blessed us with good health, jobs, wonderful children, and so much more. Lydia Mei continues to delight and amaze us. She has progressed so much. She is a little chatter box, a great imitator, and a "ham". Needless to say, she has older siblings teaching her many things.

Best of all, she has become and affectionate and loving little girl. She loves to be held and cuddled. Her eyes light up when one of us walks in the room.....what is the saying.....we are "over the moon" in love with her!
