Whirlwind Weekend

What a wonderful weekend! As stated in my previous post, we finally made it to Michigan to spend a weekend with Mike's family. The weather was beautiful for traveling, and we were blessed with NO car troubles OR health issues! PTL!



We headed out Wednesday afternoon. Joshua was so excited - we are extremely blessed that he is such a wonderful traveler and loves riding in the car.



The 5.5-hour trip never daunts him...he smiles, babbles, squeals and takes intermittent naps all along the way.



Thursday, we spent the day in the Holland/Zeeland area and Joshua got to spend time with his Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma DePree,



as well as his Great-Grandma Holleman.



Is he one spoiled blessed little boy or WHAT?!?! :-)



Friday was spent at Grandpa and Grandma Holleman's house,



playing,



relaxing,



reading (Daddy's favorite childhood book, I Am A Bunny),



eating way too much delicious food (Jillian Michaels will be whipping my butt tomorrow morning) and just enjoying our time together.



We had dinner with Uncle Adam and Auntie Sara Friday night.



And today we returned home, tired, but feeling truly blessed. Unfortunately, our time together always seems too short, but we enjoyed our weekend immensely.



Joshy and Grandpa did not want to say goodbye "see you later," but we gave our hugs and kisses and hit the road, looking forward to the next time we'll be together!

God has blessed us with amazing families who have taught us to live each day in his love and grace. Thank you all for being such strong, faithful examples after which we can strive to model our own family. We love you all!



Our little man is not feeling well after his busy weekend (just a little worn out, I think), so we are snuggling and watching movies before bed. Goodnight and God bless!
