October in Michigan

Appreciation

I don't say it as often as I should, but I appreciate & love my parents so much! These last couple months have been extremely challenging for us, and they have been there through everything and helped us out tremendously. I don't know what we would do without them. I am also so grateful for…

Family Fun Day

Today we spent a nice afternoon with my parents. My dad BBQ'D some delicious ribs. For dessert, my mom bought an angel food cake, which we topped with berries and cool whip 🙂 My parents recently bought a dart board. The best part about it is...it insults you when you play badly! HA! Logan and…

Who Rescued Who?
