Well the holiday festivities have finally come to an end. We enjoyed a wonderful time in Minneapolis over the New Year and now are trying to get back to normal here in Michigan. The kids had a great time playing with their "Minnesota" cousins and grandparents. Ella was a little sad that Hershey (my parent's dog) was not there and Nathan did ask Uncle Dan where his tractor was! We had a big slumber party at Dan and Laura's the first couple of nights and ended at Darin and Tricia's before we left. The grownups even got a night out. Mike and Allison Meidema (friends of Dan and Laura and my old neighbor) took all 9 children, along with their 3 children! They are daring. Thanks again Mike and Allison! We went out to a nice Chinese restaurant and of course ate way too much, (but hey when your not feeding your children, you tend to be able to eat more for yourself)! The kids have had fun playing with their Christmas toys and ask everyday if they can go back to Minnesota. Sawyer has had some firsts. He started some cereal yesterday. He is rolling all over and starts to lunge or wiggle his way towards toys. He can sit up for awhile if propped up correctly and is quick to grab anything that comes in his reach! We pray you all have a wonderful start to your New Year!
