Busy weekend!

I'm still trying to unwind from a super busy weekend. I do love having something to do, but it's a lot harder doing it with a 14 month old baby! Friday morning Jen and I met at Holland beach with Aly and Caleb and spent the morning there. Both kids had so much fun, and it's great to see them interact. I mean, they are future husband and wife...;) The rest of the day I had to tend to the farmer's market. Friday night I had my good friend Rachel's bachelorette party. It was pretty low key, so I was able to get up Saturday morning and take Caleb to his first parade. Jen and I took Aly and Caleb to the Byron Days Parade. I think I was just as excited to see the fire trucks and horses as Caleb was. It brought me back to my days of sitting on the curb in Kentwood, watching all the shenanigans that go on with a parade. Saturday afternoon I quickly stopped in at my other friend's bachelorette pool party. Then, it was off to the Whitecaps game to watch my nephew, Andrew sign the National Anthem. He did such a great job, and I was a very proud Aunt! He's growing up right before our eyes, and every time I see him I think he's gotten just a little bit older. Then, lastly, we drove up to Big Rapids Sunday morning to eat dinner with the Miedema family at Cran Hill Ranch camprground. It was a particularly exhausting weekend for Caleb, and I'm hoping he'll catch up on his sleep today.

This is probably just the beginning of many busy weekends to come. Even though we get worn out, it's a great time, and I'm glad we have all of these opportunities to hang out with family and friends.

I'll leave you with this quote to get your week going;

"The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose."
