New Buffalo, MI

We had another great week in New Buffalo, Michigan with my parents, my sister and her family. All my kids took turns with some sickness during the week and the weather was a bit dicey, but we made the most of it and had a great time. The kids love swimming at the pool all day & playing at the beach.

Thanks Mom & Dad for another great family vacation!

Swim Team

We have started a new adventure this summer.... Swim Team!

Its a huge time commitment (daily practices & swim meets 2 to 3 times a week), but so far its paying off, as Zach has turned into quite the competitive swimmer. We are just so proud of him for trying this new adventure as it was scary in the beginning as we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. He is working on mastering all 4 strokes but is really excelling at the freestyle & backstroke.

Its been fun to watch his skills improve & his confidence soar during this past month. We are trying to just make this a fun experience for him with less emphasis on the winning part of it.

Lined up with a buddy in the 'Bull Pen' as they call it, waiting for his event to be called.

Ready, Set, Go! Getting ready to dive in for the Butterfly!

Walking at 16 plus months!

I haven't blogged about Lindsey in a while because I was waiting for her to hit that next milestone of walking. And finally at 16 months we have hit it!!

Its been a long road but she finally has her stability and trunk strength to get her going. Now of course we have to watch her even closer as she is a safety hazard with bumping into things and taking numerous falls.

She continues to receive weekly PT sessions which help her with her stability and recently she also qualified to receive Occupational Therapy and Speech services. In the past few months her personality has really taken off and has been fun to watch. She continues to bring us much joy and is a blessing to our family.
