Swimmer Girl

Here's a photo of Mer showing off her swimming ribbons last night. She has a few more to add to the board from this past weekend's meet against Northview: a first place for her medley relay, a second place for 25 backstroke, a second place for 25 freestyle, and a third place in her freestyle relay.
She swims in a meet against Grand Rapids this weekend and then in two weeks, she'll complete in the West Michigan Swim League Association finals.  I'll post pictures of Saturday's meet this weekend.

New Year's Eve

We had a blast on NYE - we went to a Holiday Inn Express near Grand Rapids which was hosting a New Year's family party.  We enjoyed swimming in the pool, playing on the splash pad, made balloon animals, watched a magic show, made our own sundaes, and had all kinds of fun hanging out with Aubrey, Gavin, Bryan, Patricia, Eric, and Lala.  It was a great evening!

Christmas 2016

Sorry for the lag in posting - I have three new blog entries, and I promise to keep the blog more up-to-date in 2017!
We had a wonderful Christmas.  The kids enjoyed their gifts from Santa, family, and friends.  We also enjoyed spending time together after the holiday.  We visited the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum a couple days after Christmas, which was a fun outing.
