It's always fun to get the whole family together and head to my parent's cottage. This particular weekend was pretty cold but it didn't stop us from heading to the park and spending most of our time outside. I tried to get a picture of all the kids together but we all know how that goes :)

Kiddie Pool

We realize this set up is a little WT but you make due with what you have, right? Since these pictures we have upgraded to a bigger pool so more pictures to come. There were no complaints on Laney's end though, she had a ball!

Memorial Day Parade

We attempted to attend a Memorial Day parade this year thinking of all the fun it would be for Lane to see. The town we went to will remain nameless but the one American flag, 5 marching war veterans, one high school marching band, one corvette and NO candy didn't cut it in my book as an actual parade. It lasted a total of 3 minutes which was far less than the 20 minutes we spent waiting for it to get to us. We could only laugh as we pulled away and chalked this one up to a memory!

The Nest

We found this nest in one of our hanging baskets. As pretty as it is we took it out because it was killing our flowers. Lane was quite intrigued by this and had a hard time not "playing" with it.

MS Walk

Just a reminder that on this coming Saturday, May 2, my family and I will be participating in the MS Walk in downtown Grand Rapids. Team Kwantes is walking in memory of Francis and Rick Kwantes (my Grandfather and Uncle). If anyone would still like information about the walk or would like to contribute to our group please check out my web page below. We appreciate everyone's support as we walk to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Oh Yeah......

And one more thing...Lane is anxiously awaiting her new baby brother or sister! We are expecting baby #2 at the end of October. We are all very excited and can't wait to add to our family. I am thankfully now in the second tri-mester as the first proved to be a challenge. All is well though and we are feeling truly blessed!
