Cottage Vacation

Our digs for the week

Recently we went up to Long Lake for a little vacation. Since Kraig recently started a new job, he can't take any vacation time this summer so this was the perfect solution. It's close enough he could drive back and forth and his parents have a cottage there so I had help when he wasn't there. We rented the neighbors little cottage and had such a great time. Our friends were there too in the cottage right next door. It was nice to get away from home and just enjoy the beautiful summer weather, playing in the sand and water, enjoying boat rides, hanging out with friends and just relaxing!

Girl Time!

I took Avery with me to the nail salon before the wedding so we could both get pretty together. This is not something I would normally do and Kraig gave his permission so off we went. She had SO much fun. All the way home she kept saying "Thank you mommy, that was so fun!" Love her to pieces and I love when I get some one on one with her.

Kraig's sister Krysta got married this past weekend. Avery was a bell ringer along with some of her cousins. We all had a great time and all the kids did so good! Congrats Krysta and Brett! We are so happy for you. I have so many fun pictures, these are just a few!

Starting Fresh

WOW...it's been one year since I have posted to my blog. It's been too long. For the past year, I have not had the time to update but the other day I was reading old posts and I am disapointed that I haven't done it so long because it is a great way to keep memories. So...I'm starting fresh (there is no way I can update for the past year,lol) and hope to keep it updated more often.

For now, we are enjoying summer and loving every minute of it. Kraig recently started a new job and he is enjoying a "normal" schedule and more time home with us. We are so thankful for the way the Lord has provided and continues to provide for our family. Hopefully, I will have some fun posts soon!
