Fire Princess

This past Labor Day weekend, we had the chance to go with our friends to their amazingly beautiful cabin. We left on Friday afternoon and came home Monday night, so it was a really wonderful break from the monotony of everyday life. Well, Jacie is never monotonous, but dishes and the house and laundry all took a break for a few days. Speaking of Jacie girl, she LOVES people. She just ate it up that she was surrounded by new faces and had 4 wonderful days of entertainment. We played a card game several times and she sat at the table like she was one of the players and had a grand time, even when there was shouting across the table. She would pause and look at the person or people making a raucous and continue on playing with her card (we gave her a dummy card to keep her entertained). We, that’s Ryan and Judy, got some time to play on the quads they have. The trails are pretty tame, nothing like Idaho, but still so much fun!

We also visited Lake Michigan while we were there. It is beautiful! It looks a lot like the ocean. Ryan and the Ross boys had a wonderful time playing in the water, but the two women in the family that prefer to stay out of the water did. Well, except for the time that I put her feet in it. Was she ever mad!Peanut had her first camp fire and she wanted sooo badly to get right down there and play with it. She tries pretty hard to get mobile. She is always trying to scoot off our laps and into something more interesting. This is Isabelle Dobson, our friend and owner of the cabin.

Apparantly Jacie likes dogs! This little munchkin called Gizmo had her laughing and laughing as he played with his toys. She loved it. Hmmm....maybe there is a dog in the future!

This is just a silly shot of Jacie sucking the thumb of Kristopher, one of Ryan's young men he was over at church.


No, I am not nursing her!! She is sleeping, and I am holding her precious little hand. Looks a little suspicios, though. She really loved being outside on the swing or walking through the trees.
