New Look!

Hi everyone...as you've noticed, our blog has undergone a recent facelift. The black with colors was fun, but this template fits the time of year better. Even though it was 85 and muggy today, the evenings feel as though fall is just around the corner. And I have to say, I would love for the weather to be like this all year round. T-shirts, shorts, and bathing suits by day. Sweatshirts and jeans at night...perfect!

If all had gone as planned, this post would not have appeared until Monday, and it would've included tons of pictures from a fun filled adult only weekend down at the Stuck's cottage. It probably would've also included pictures of Kylah and Riley hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Taetsch, who were planning to babysit for us... Unfortunately, Craig picked up a nasty cold, one that's kept him at home and in bed for several days now. Rather than making it worse or passing it on to anyone else, we decided it was best to stay home.

We want to extend a great big THANK YOU to all our friends down there right now for your concern about Craig's health. We also want to thank Curt and Melody for the invitation to attend, and to Melody and Kelly for all your hard work preparing for this annual event. We'll be there next year :) And last but certainly not least, Craig's parents deserve a Thank You for offering to babysit both of our "kids" all weekend; I know they would've had fun with you.

As Craig and I were talking this evening, we realized that maybe this was God's way of telling us to slow down. We've been so busy this year that we forget to just relax once in a while. Heaven forbid we have a weekend during the summer that contains zero plans! So as Craig recovers, our plans are to not do anything the next two days but stay home and enjoy time with each other, our baby girl, and our dog. (And pray that Craig isn't miserable the whole time!)

Enjoy your weekends!

Hey Craig and Michelle,
Half of us are still sleeping right now at the cottage, and half are a awake reading your blog. Sorry you couldn't be here today!

Hopefully the relaxing weekend is good for Craig's recovery.

Foley and Larry took care of eating your meal portions last night. And Glenn is still eating this morning. :)

WOW!!!!!What a weekend.

It is alwasy good to step back and relax as you guys found out this weekend. Everyone had a great time and we all enjoyed eachothers compaines.

We all had a lot of fun wakeboarding, kneeboarding, skiing, and yes body surfing. Some of us even did body surfing naked (I won't mention names).

The stories were written this year and fortunately you will be able to read them in the awesome pictures Marty and Michelle took.

Again, glad to hear Craig is feeling better and that you could play around the house with your beautiful daughter.
