Bookworming Buddies...

Kim, Kate, Amber and I met for our first book club discussion! We all read "The True and Fabulous Adventures of the Hunt Sisters". Sangria in Royal Oak was the perfect spot to nibble on tappas, talk about the book a little, and our lives a lot! It was a wonderful to spend time with my favorite Michigan ladies!

Who's the man of the house?

I couldn't help but capture this Saturday afternoon scene.....Darin (aka Man of the House) sitting on the uncomfortable sofa while Lucy (aka Queen of the House) lounged in Darin's leather recliner. I guess it just goes to show how sweet and giving Darin is at heart:-)

Making Strides...

Amber and I took part in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk on Saturday. The event took place on Belle Isle....it was a beautiful morning, although very chilly. We walked in Memory of Amber's Mother, Karen Neumeyer and also our co-worker's wife, Marlene Dalton.

Baby Shower Time!

Darin and I have many friends & family taking the plunge and starting families....which means lots of baby showers! Here are a few pictures from my dear friend Kate's shower. Doesn't she look fabulous!

Bookworms....

There's no better way to kick-off a book club than with an evening of yummy food, wine and shopping! Kate was a wonderful hostess-with-the-mostess and served a wonderful meal. After eating, we headed to downtown Plymouth and checked out all the boutiques. We finally got around to book club business at the end. So we're officially reading!

Isn't he cute!?

We're so proud of Nathan! He's doing a great job as an Offensive Lineman for the Toreadors! We look forward to going back to Iowa the last weekend in October and seeing him play again!

Labor Day in Iowa

What a way to start Labor Day weekend! Boone took on Norwalk in the season opener. Nate did an awesome job starting on the offensive line for Boone. All the pre-season sweat paid off--Boone beat Norwalk 37-0! YAY!!

The weekend was eventful--and it ended the same way it started--with a BANG! Here's what's left of the old four-wheeler. Nate only had his hair singed, thank goodness. Once the fire was out, the laughter began! This isn't a Labor Day we will soon forget!
