Random Photos

We've been home now for 2 months and whew, it's busy. I've been terrible at blogging lately and hope to do better. So...in an attempt to catch up a little...here are some photos of the girls and a glimpse at what we've been doing lately.

Dress Up Days...Megan loves to "pwee-tend" to be Dora or a princess. She is just like Nat at this age and changes her outfits several times each day. There was one summer when all Natalee would wear were dresses...well...it seems her little sister has taken a liking to dresses too and will often wear one or two throughout the day. Thank goodness for hand-me-downs and thrift stores!


These babies names were just too cute...the "mommy" was named "Guizhou" (the province she is from) and the "baby" was "Zhong wen" (meaning Chinese language). Megan's language develpment is coming along by leaps & bounds. She understands so much, actually everything really, and she is speaking tons of new words daily. It's so cute to hear her talk because it's a little bit Chinese and a little bit English! :)

SNAKE! SNAKE! Natalee's 1st grade class put on a "ZOO" and she was a snake. Each student had to research information about an animal, create a poster about their facts, make a mask and then participate in the zoo. Family were able to attend the zoo and we received animal crackers at the "concession stand" and we then were able to "feed" the animals. It was so cute! Megan absolutely loved it and wants to be a snake now too! :)

Daddy & Uncle Brian were able to attend the Red Wings game a week ago and saw them win the conference championship - they had a blast! Since then, Megan has been cheering "Go Wings" with Daddy. We found this jersey we had in the back of the closet and she loved wearing it!

Summer-time fun! Natalee finished 1st grade, it's hard to believe how quickly the year went by. We are so excited for summer break and are looking forward to some relaxing days at home...nothing major....trips to the zoo...library....dutch village....park...reading....playing....
just enjoying being together!

  1. Sounds like fun! We have the same itinerary. :) Have some cousins coming to visit from PA next week - finishing up swim lessons - planting a tiny flower garden today.
    We'll have to get together in July sometime if you guys are able to.

    Madison says to Natalee:
    "Hi Natalee - we went to Mackinac Island. It was fun! Guess what we did? We went to the butterfly house. The lady said there was about 500 butterflies there. You should go to the butterfly house. It's really fun. Ask your Mom and Dad about it. Good by."
    Kaitlyn says to Natalee:
    "Did you know we went strawberry picking? We had lots of fun at the butterfly house. We love you. I hope you have a good day."

    That's all from us. Happy 4th!
