Hallelujah for finger puppets!

I walked into the room and found Cor and Addie singing a song and having their finger puppets dance a jig! PRECIOUS!!!

Rain rain go away...

I got some fun pics of Addie a few weeks back when it rained non stop... I decided to let her go out and splash in the puddles the first chance we got when the rain finally broke. Addie LOVED every minute of it... We were out visiting Addie's Aunt Jessy and she had a great umbrella Addie was playing with in the back yard. She loves "umbellas" lately and I captured the moment.

Labor Day Fun

We spent Labor Day weekend up in Holland, MI at Cor's parents house. They were out of town (thanks for letting us stay!) and we had a great weekend of family fun. We went to GR on Friday hoping to see Meredith's baby but no such luck (come soon baby Kent)!!! We went to the beach the past two days and had amazing weather. Addison had a blast at the beach building sand castles, getting sand everywhere, jumping over the waves with Dad, going into the water (although it was icy cold), and climbing up the infamous Lake town beach stairs. She is one determined little girl! This is the last weekend we'll be able to be at the beach. Where did summer go? Good bye white shoes... hello fall.

Proud of my hubby

This past Sunday Cor did the Chicago Triathalon. We're so proud of him... We left the house by 4:30 in the morning and headed downtown to watch the race. We had been talking about it with Addison and when we went to get her up at 4:15 she sat right up and said "Watch Daddy race". She loved watching the swimmers, bikers, and runners. Nate (one of Cory's college roommates) and his wife, Courtney, came into town and stayed with us on Friday night. His siblings did a relay at the triathalon. It was nice to see them and catch up. Addie and I did a lot of walking around the city when Cor was on his bike ride. We had a great time but were exhausted from the early morning....
