Michigan Part 1


The first half of our Michigan trip was spent with all of Luke's cousins! Everyone came in from Virginia, North Carolina, and Detroit. We had a blast hanging out with all the families and getting to know each other's kids. We even took a huge family portrait...22 of us! Hope you enjoy the pics.
Just in case any of you wonder how six people travel on an airplane...

Obviously, Tag had it the easiest being all snuggled up in Luke's lap.

This was the afternoon we had a photographer come and take our whole group portrait...thus the white shirts and denim. :)  Afterward, Luke snapped a few pics of our own.  I just love this one of our four sweet kiddos.  Look at those precious faces...


Jordan and his girls.

Granny Boo loves to read to the kids...especially on the front porch swing!


Papa Dude and Logan being silly, of course.


Jordan introduced us to a new hobby of his... kite-surfing!  It was a blast to watch...and he is absolutely amazing at it.



Luke's cousin Sara and her daughter Meg...watching as Jordan headed out into the bay.

Scott, Sara and Meg.  This was our first time to meet sweet little Meg...she is darling!


Luke's cousin Rob and his wife Jennie.  They have a little boy named Michael that we so enjoyed getting to spend time with.

Tag and Meg trying to play with the bubbles.  Ummm, soapy liquid not so good for you little ones....


Jordan showing off on the front porch... "See, I can handle four, no problem!"  You go JW.

At Tom's Mom's Cookies with Granny Boo.  Oh how we all love these cookies!

Tag was wishing he could have a cookie too...but all he got was this lousy wagon-wheel.

So loved by his big sister...

Uncle Bob, Nanny, and Aunt Sue

Rob and his little boy, Michael

Boo loving on Tag.  See that beautiful sunset in the background?  I love sunsets...



Thought we'd leave you with a little hoola-hoop action.  The girls both discovered this lost sport while up north....and actually got pretty good at it!  Fun times...
