valentine's day week

Our Anniversary Getaway:
Kurt and I attended a Marriage Encounter in Holland, MI this past weekend. This special weekend experience, lasting from Friday evening until early Sunday evening, is designed to help married couples improve their communication in order to deepen and enrich their relationship. This allowed us the opportunity to focus on our relationship and strength it. We learned daily skills to help us take our marriage to a level we only dreamt of. Late Sunday evening we traveled north and stayed in a Bed and Breakfast until Wednesday. We relaxed, visited local shops, and truly enjoyed each others company. We deeply missed the boys but we believe one of the best things we can give them is to keep our marriage healthy.

Field trip to Krispy Kremes:
We visited Krispy Kreme Doughnuts today with Connor's preschool class and learn how they make doughnuts! We had so much fun! The preschoolers even got to make their own doughnuts, dip it in chocolate, and sprinkles. Connor and April, his best friend whom he's grown up with, had a wonderful time. We laughed as 18 preschoolers made and ate their doughnuts! That was a great time.

Kaden - 21 months old:
Kaden is growing up so fast. He's talking all the time and most of it you can actually understand. He follows Connor everywhere but is definitely his own person. He's doing well using the potty and but we are not stressing over it. Our favorite time of the day with Kaden: (1) When Kurt gets home, Kaden's entire world stops. He yells and runs to his Daddy. That's priceless. (2) He's beginning to pray at night and nap time. He's so precious. He prays for his family and ALWAYS prays for Puppy...his dog that we sleeps with. He adores Puppy!
