A Classic Michigan Fourth
This year for the fourth of July weekend, we headed up to The Cottage for a classic holiday weekend with the Schaper fam. It was a marvelously relaxing weekend with nothing but hours for chatting, boating, babying, yummying, and, of course, watching fireworks. Aunt Nancy and the Schāpers got to Continue Reading
Celebrating Six
We had a bit of down time on Sunday too for some porch sittin’ and toodling around. Grammy & Aidan | Wheelbarrow Rides | Alex helps pump up the bike tires.
Welcome Summer!
Summer is finally here and we are rrrrrrready! Last weekend we celebrated Father’s Day (and the first day of summer) in the great outdoors. On Sabbath, we headed for a hike at the Botanical Gardens (where Serena and the girls had wedding pictures taken almost six years ago!) just for Continue Reading
Cousins!!!
This week was a fantastic week with the arrival of some very special visitors from Minnesota. Aunt Karen, Uncle Dave (Serena’s brother) and cousins Lauren, Megan, and Cody made the long journey to hang out with us for several days, meet new little Aidan, and get re-acquainted with Alexander and Continue Reading
Getting to Know Our Six Week Old…

One Month Old
We had a few studio portraits taken for Aidan’s one month milestone. It was a fun little experience, but a few turned out pretty well, and we got several sheets for free!!! We’ve posted just a couple of our favorites. As always you can’t expect them to be a true Continue Reading
A2 at the Zoo
Last weekend we made our first trek of the summer down to the Toledo Zoo. It was a grand caravan- Nana, Mama, and (2) tykes, Grammy and Grandpapa- meeting up with Mark, Sam, (2) more tykes, and later Papa. We started off at the polar bears and seals. Alexander was Continue Reading
Sleepy Needy Little One
We call Aidan our needy little sleepy baby. Even in the womb he’s always been jumpy and he flails his arms and startles easily- just always seems a little insecure. Alexander was far from a sleepy or needy baby, and we don’t really mind having one this time around, though Continue Reading
