Michigan Trip Part 1

Hmmmm, I already posted this once, but now all the text disappeard. Try again...

Maybe the lack of posting gives you insight into the difficulties we've had getting back to routine after taking a 2 week trip to Michigan. We had a great time and were able to visit SO MANY friends and family in such a short time. The 

The kids with all their grandparents!

Hazel and Jude met their cousins, Jett and Beckett, for the first time.

Silly Jett.

Getting a picture of all 4 kids smiling is pretty much impossible. At least the Haveman boys are smiling. And thankfully, Jude has learned to smile for the camera since this time.

This is way out of order, but the day before we flew, we spent the day at the Seattle Zoo. Hazel LOVED it! She particularly liked the elephants.

Jude was not such a fan of the zoo. He was more interested in being out of the stroller and running around. That wasn't too horrible until it started pouring rain.

Hazel also loved the otters. She got so excited every time they swam by.

We were so glad to be able to connect with the Brown family in Holland! Here's Lydia holding Nona.

We strolled downtown Holland and ate lunch with the Browns at 8th Street Grille.

It was so great to see them and to be in Holland. Here we are at Pillar, the church Noel and I were married at and where Jon is now the pastor.
