We're back!!!

I know I am the lamest blogger but I really will start keeping up on it- I promise! Life has been insane busy. I am going to try to summarize our past few months with some pictures. Cor and I got to Palm Desert, CA in March for a little getaway without Addie that was amazing. We have never been gone from her for more than a night or two and this was a 5 night trip so we really missed her, but it was very rejuvinating. April we had fun celebrating Easter and I went out to Boston with Addie to celebrate my dear cousin Ruth's bridal shower. She is marrying a British boy, Tim, this summer and we couldn't be more thrilled. I left Addie in Connecticut with my family and headed to Haiti for 9 days to do a medical mission. It was very rewarding, but also very exhausting (pics to come)! I missed Cory and Addison like crazy. It feels SO good to be home. Next Cor took a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate with some guys for their 30th birthdays. He came back and the next we headed up to Michigan for Mother's Day and Tulip time. Cor's grandparents from Minnesota were there, so it was really special to spend some time with them. Cory's sister Kate was there from Denver, as were Jess and Jared, so it was a total blessing to have everyone all together. The next weeekend was Addie's 2nd birthday... More on that soon!

Rachel - you look beautiful in these pictures and Addie is such a doll! I can't believe she is already 2. Time flies!

It sounds like a fun few months lately. I hope you are able to slow down and relax a bunch this summer!
