Oppps, sorry for the delay

It's been awhile since I posted, whoops!! To make up for it, I have lots o' photos!! We took a little summer/beach vacation at the Ackerman household in Bridgman (near St. Joseph, MI) recently. Mark, Erin, Westin and Baby-t0-be were there and we were so happy to be able to spend time with them and Gramma and Grandpy! We went to the beach several times, the zoo, church, walked around St. Joe, got ice cream, and ate A LOT. Yeah!! (click on photos to see them larger)

Mark, Erin and Westin at the zoo- I think this was right after we heard the lion roar!

Baby B at the zoo- he was such a good boy!

Family photo!

See? A happy baby? I can hardly believe it!!! Isn't he a little cutie pie??!

One afternoon while the boys were golfing, us girls walked on the pier in St. Joe. This was Brennan's first feel of Lake Michigan and he wasn't a fan of the cold water. He loved to look at the waves, but did not want to be in them!

Our last day on the beach, it was super windy and the waves were SO fun to play in. I had a hard time catching my breath for some of them! Sadly though, we saw the Emergency crew pull up with their jet skies and fly down the lake to Warren Dunes- we found out later a 57 year old man died! You really do need to respect the water- it seems to happen several times a summer and it's so sad every time we hear about it.

Well, that's all I gots. I'm happy to report that I went to the dentist this week and not only was I cavity free- the ol' front tooth is holding up good! ha!!
