I can't believe it is almost August already!
These last few weeks have flown by...and we've had a ton of fun!
Near the end of June we rented a beautiful cottage near Grand Haven and spent a lot of time at the beach, relaxing, and spending awesome quality time with family. At no point did we want to strangle each other...
Paitin playing with chalk at the cottage.
Uncle Mike was playing hide-and-go-seek with the girls when he called me into the room...notice the bottom shelf.
Yes, those are Braylee's legs.
Braylee being silly at the cottage.
We stopped at Mulligan's Hollow on our last day in Grand Haven.
For the 4th of July we went to see fireworks downtown and (I think) Paitin finished off the whole bag of Doritos by herself!
After fireworks, we had to say goodbye to Uncle Mike. We will miss you!

We have enjoyed spending a lot of time in our neighborhood pool.
Both girls can now swim across the deep end independently!
Doesn't this suit match Braylee's personality?!
Paitin loves diving for anything that sinks!
In July, we took a weekend trip with the Sarber's to Arbutus (near Traverse City). LOTS of fun on the lake!
We've had friends come over to play!
And visited Grandpa and Grandma VanDusen up in Fremont for the National Baby Food Festival.
Braylee and Claire rode the biggest roller coaster there! (*make sure you click on this picture so you can get a better look of their faces!*)
AND, we went to the zoo!
I'm exhausted just typing about all that we've done in the last month! We are so thankful to have been healthy this summer...we needed a break from the "real-life" of the last couple years. Sorry if we haven't seen you in awhile, but I think we'll be home here really soon.
