The Vine and the Branches. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Caleb had an early release day so I decided to take the kids Niemans Apple Orchard to pick some apples. It was kind of warm and nothing was really marked for where we could pick. So we ended up just buying a couple of bags that were already picked and took some fun photos while we were there. I'm not sure I trust him driving that tractor. Beware of the geese! Saturday, September 13, 2014. Schlitz Audubon Nature Center. Tuesday, September 2, 2014.

The Vine and the Branches. Saturday, July 5, 2014. Kelly and Theo's Wedding (July 5, 2014). We were so blessed to witness the wedding of Tim's sister, Kelly, and her new husband, Theo. They are such a great couple and Theo just fits right into the family. Caleb and Sonya were asked to be the ring bearer and flower girl. They did a great job and looked so stinking cute! These are some photos (mostly posed/formal ones) from the day. A special day for a special boy. The man of the hour. During the dance, th...

The Vine and the Branches. Thursday, September 5, 2013. First Days of School (2013). Tuesday was Caleb's first day back to school with his 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Gerloff. He was definitely looking forward to seeing his friends and getting back into a routine. Plus, I think he was getting sick of Sonya following him around and wanting to play house with him. hehe (Sonya didn't start school yet, but we went to the OCS Campus where they had Chapel time and breakfast afterwards).

The Vine and the Branches. Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Officially a soccer mom (Goodbye Ford Escort and Hello Dodge Caravan) - 2014. We've discussed getting a van for over a year now. It'd be convenient for hauling furniture, more comfortable for traveling, more room for when friends and family visit, and more practical for packing camping supplies. So auto place #1 gave us an estimate for that as well as for another. Thing that needed to be fixed more immediately. Great, right? Instead of getting the ...

The Vine and the Branches. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Family Vacation 2015 - Michigan. This year, we decided not to travel too far away for our family vacation. Michigan is right across the pond and we thought it'd be cool to see what the other side of Lake Michigan offered. So we did a loop around the lake. We took a lot of photos. Here's a glimpse into our trip:. Sunday, June 21. Monday, June 22. One of our random stops along the drive to our destination. Stopping by Duck Lake - it runs into Lake Michigan.

The Vine and the Branches. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Sonya takes on a big bike. It was a dreary, drizzly sort of day when I decided to help Sonya learn to ride her bike. We started off in the garage where it was dry. It took a while before she got the hang of pedaling, the repetitive motions of her legs pushing down and around. Then, it was only a matter of time before she started going all by herself! So proud of my little girl! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My family, DIY projects, food, my thoughts, etc.

The Vine and the Branches. Saturday, November 9, 2013. Thanksgiving at the Heidenreich's (2013). Uncle Fritz with the veggie turkey. Tim's mom, Michelle with her brother, Scott, and sister, Amy. They're a little goofy sometimes. Aunt Tina helping the kids. The Wagner side of the family. Making silly faces :-). Saturday, November 2, 2013. A Beautiful November Day. Pretending they were giving a concert. This kid is pretty strong! We popped into the Photo Booth and posed for a few good (and silly) pictures.
