Memorial Day Weekend


  We had a busy but fun weekend!  We got to spend more time with our newest cousin, Clara.  She is growing fast just like the rest of us!  Mommy and I drove to GR for a quick trip for cousin Vanessa's first birthday.  I made sure mommy knew I was not a happy camper in the car on the way down.  She used very interesting techniques to try to entertain me.  We had a good time at the party and enjoyed seeing family and friends.  We came home in time to spend one more day with the Spinniken cousins.  I was a much happier boy in the way home, thanks to lots of prayers.  A special thanks to cousin Vanessa for letting me play with Sophie the Giraffe on the car ride home.  She is great to chew and slobber on :)

Me and my newest cousin



                        Mamas and babies.  Wouldn't be half the mother I am without 
                                 these women and all their love, help and support!





Malachi took a bath and then took a nap.  This is how we found his hair. :)







Happy Birthday Vanessa!



So many pictures! :)

Me and Grandpa Deal

Blossoms

Malachi and I love walking outside.  Having the trees in bloom has been an added bonus!  It has been so much fun showing him spring and listening for the hum of the bees pollenating the buds.  Daddy brought Malachi along with him while he worked on scouting orchards.  He showed him the ropes and the view was spectacular!  We were on a bluff over looking Suttons Bay surrounded by white trees in bloom and the setting sun.  Oh yeah, this is why we live here.  I was starting to wonder this winter. ;0)
