We went to a Detroit Tigers game a few weeks ago as part of a "work outing". It was fun even though baseball games get a little boring for me after a while.
Great view.
I forgot to take a picture with Andrew (the kids stayed at home). I say I forgot, but subconsciously I really didn't want to take a picture because my hair had been massacred the day before and was jet black. I wasn't too thrilled about it but admittedly it is my mistake. I must say the wrong thing when I tell the stylist I want to get back to my natural color. I always walk out with the same shade of black.
Luke always wants a band aid for an ouch. This was after he fell and bit his lip (look closely and notice the fat lip). Even though I couldn't actually get the band aid on the wound, he still claimed it felt better. Magic!
We hung out with some new friends at the river last week. This little girl wasn't afraid to get dirty which is right up Luke's alley. Oddly enough, I found out that this little girl is my brother-in-law's second cousin. I had no idea! It's kind of amazing that we even figured it out to be honest. Small world.
Luke and his faces. He loves to make silly faces and then he begs me to let him see the pictures on the camera. This must be his evil look:
Sometimes my boys are lazy park-goers. I went with some friends last week and found the boys like this:
Maybe I wore them out finally?
Note: gorgeous blue eyes below. They really stand out when he is mad :)
I'm glad that most of the time Luke and Cam really like each other. Honestly being the mother of these two can be a challenge sometimes. But the sweetest reward for it all is watching them become best friends. It must make God so happy when we love each other.
I felt like I cheated a little and I drove down to C-bus for a couple days. I filled my canteen with long, deep, and not-so-deep conversations with a few of my closest friends. I wish I could have stayed longer and seen more people that I love but was only able to stay about 24 hours. I have loved Ann Arbor but going back made me remember all the things I love about Ohio and how lucky I am to have such great friends. Each is so different and brings out a different side of me. Each one has their own unique way of influencing me for good and making me want to be better. I felt so happy as I drove back home. Like a new woman.

I know just how you feel. I had to leave many of our friends behind with the moves we made but I still remember the wonderful friends and people they were. I wish I could have kept in touch but you really need to be able to see them or be with them every once in a while. Thank goodness for e-mail as it is easier to keep a contact even if it is only a few times a year. As for the boys, we need a Luke and Cam visit and we are anxious to see you all. I just crave to hug them and play with them. It's a Grandma thing.
I have to admit, I am jealous about your little jaunt over to Columbus! But glad you got to go, and hopefully will get to go again relatively soon. Let's do a reunion trip one of these times, with you coming south and me coming north, K?? Please oh please?!
