One of the biggest things this year was Molly starting preschool. We were worried that Wes would have a hard time leaving her there but he's been great (I think he's enjoying the time spent as an 'only' child). This picture is from Molly's first day.
Can you tell they're best friends? I was trying to get just a picture of Molly for the first day but Wes was all about being up there too.
We were also able to get out to MI this year (finally, with the move and my back injury we weren't able to make it last year). This is atop the first crest of the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Grandma was able to join us.
We also made it to Glen Lake for a memorial for Pa. It was great to see (almost) everyone in the family. One cousin wasn't able to make it, but his wife had a baby a week or so before so I guess that's a good excuse.
Molly got to hang out with her cousin Carolyn. These two are named after their great grandmother (Carolyn) and her sister (Mariel).
On the trip out to MI we stopped off where it all started: the Little Pub at Hamilton. This is the first time we've been back since right before our wedding almost 6 years ago and almost 11 years since we first met.
We also stopped at Niagara Falls (on the Canada side).
And we were able to go for a run along the Falls as well.
In mid-summer we celebrated Katie's cousin's wedding aboard a schooner off the coast of Maine. The wedding couple couldn't have asked for a better day (nor could we).
One of the great things about where we live is the ocean right at the end of the street.
Wes has been perfecting his "cool kid" look.
The kids also went for their first dental appointment. Everyone was impressed with how well they did (and the dentist even does ballon animals!).
This pretty much sums up the kids relationship.
