Next year...

Our family had a wonderful trip to the northern part of Michigan with my in-laws and nephews. It was a long weekend filled with time at the beach, bocce ball, card games and fun time with family. Since we opted to stay close to home this summer, this was a welcomed break to unwind and "unplug". Literally, we had no internet or phone service the entire time. Last time that happened was in Ghana:)

On the way home we stopped by Frankenmuth, Michigan for Eric's birthday lunch. He chose this place because of their fried chicken. He hasn't had it for over 10 years and it was as good as he remembered.

Of course, the weekend was filled with Eric and I thinking: "next year this will be even more special with all our children here". It seems to be a reoccurring theme with anything we do. We miss K and A very much, but they are in our thoughts no matter what we do. Next year...next year...
