Heading to Michigan!

Greetings from Michigan!  We are still here - more on that later!  We have enjoyed a white, wintry Christmas complete with frigid temperatures and quite a bit of snow!

But before heading to the mitten, we did enjoy the warmth of California!  It was a treat to have some nice family time before the kids and I flew out to Grand Rapids since Steve had been at work the two previous days.  In-N-Out Burger was packed on Friday, but we had fun, and a kind gentleman insisted on taking our family picture as he reminded us how fast the days go by!

Olivia tried to help me pack!  She had great fun, but of course it was more fun to just crawl into the suitcases or throw out things that I put in there!

At the airport the kids were very patient and played their gaming devices until it was ready to get on the plane!  They were so excited!!

What a huge help it was to have Grandpa with us!!  Not only in the airport (walking with the kids,  making bathroom trips manageable, and security!!), but also of course on the airplane.  The kids sat in a row with Grandpa while Olivia and I lounged in first class.  Well, as much as one can lounge and relax with a baby on a red-eye!

Thankfully Grandma and Uncle Dave were ready to watch the kids once we arrived in Grand Rapids so that Grandpa and I could get some much needed sleep!
