Week in Review

Here are some highlights of our first week back in Michigan:
* We got everything unpacked, put away, and stored in the storage unit. The door to our unit is broken (of course), so we called and they are getting that fixed (hopefully soon).
Here's just some of the many boxes that we filled up with our junk

Here's Parker sitting on top of a pile of trash bags filled with clothes, blankets, sheets, etc.

* Todd and I spent 2 days pulling weeds and thorny bushes out of the landscape at dad's office

* Halle cut her hair!!! It was in the middle of her back and we chopped it above her shoulders. She looks so cute with her hair short, plus, no more big tangles! "Before"- I know it's not the greatest pic, but it's all I have on my memory card right now

"After"- Halle and Bailey

* We had a big family party for Brad's grandma on Saturday.

Her health is detriorating and everyone wanted to get together to spend some time with her. We get to see her quite often now that we are back in MI because we live only 1 mile down the road from her house, however, there are a lot of extended family that doesn't live close by, so this was a nice chance for those people to see her.This is Grandma! She is SO sweet!

Here is Brad's dad pulling Parker in the wagon

Here are a bunch of the grandkids and great-grand kids.

All the guys played basketabll for over 2 hours!!!! Here's Brad going up against one of his brothers, Todd.

* We watched "21" (it's a movie) on Saturday night. It was SUPER good! If you haven't seen it, you should watch it.

* We went to a new restaurant. Well, it's not actually new, but it's new to us- we've never been there. My brother-in-law works there as a bus boy. It is on a lake right by where we live. We got to sit outside on the patio overlooking the water. It was so peaceful and relaxing and the food was good.

* We spent Sunday afternoon at my parent's house. My dad grilled chicken, we played with sidewalk chalk, we got to see my mom (she flew home from Chicago tonight-she was there on business), we went for a walk and picked Queen Anne's Lace (we tried to see who could get the biggest one), and we went for ice cream at a sweet little shop in the town where they live. It was a very enjoyable evening.

So, that's our first week back in MI. It's been full of fun and work and we love it! I hope everyone else had a great week too.
