A beautiful weekend in May...

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL! Finally!!! Some nice weather. We have all been waiting for it, and it couldn't have come for a better weekend.

First of all, this weekend, Saturday, was mine and Andrew's 1 year anniversary. We took a trip to Escanaba, enjoyed a scenic drive, and some nice alone time. We went to dinner at a local cafe, then stopped at a roadside park with some "falls", although they weren't much of falls, more like rapids. It was pretty though. We weren't much into pictures though, so, I have nothing to post of that little trip. I also don't have any pictures of our wedding on this computer, so I can't post some then and now pictures like I had originally planned. I would like to say though, this past year has been the best of my life. Andrew is the love of my life, and I look forward to many more wonderful years with him. He is a wonderful husband and stepfather, and I am positive will be a great father, and will have the chance to prove it soon! :) Love, love, love our life!!!



Sunday was even nicer, weather wise, so we decided to continue our outdoors adventures, and make it a family day at the beach. The first one of the season. Austyn wore jeans, as I thought it might be chilly by the lake, like it usually is, but it wasn't. It was pleasantly warm, and he was a little disappointed he didn't wear shorts. He didn't let it stop him from wading in the water and attempting to bury himself in the sand. He and Andrew took turns throwing sticks for the dog, (who is finally getting into the water), and then skipped stones together.


Little Presque Isle is one of my favorite places near my house, it is just soooo beautiful. I think these pictures capture it well.



All in all, it was a wonderful weekend, we could not have asked for more beautiful weather, and I am getting very excited for summer time and spending more time at the beach and having picnics, bbq's and lots of family time.




Lastly, tomorrow, (the 17th) is Austyn's 10th birthday! I am glad the weather is going to be nice, its so up in the air this time of year. He is growing so fast, I can't believe how time flies!!! His party will be next weekend, which he is extremely excited for, of course. I am so proud of what a smart, polite and handsome young man he is becoming! Before I know it, we will be doing a blog about his first formal dance, and high school graduation! :)




Well, I hope everyone enjoyed this update, and the pictures. For those of you who don't get to live in as beautiful place as we do, sorry, and try not to get too jealous! hahaha. If it wasn't for our 7 or 8 months of cold, wind, rain and snow,
we could pretty much say we lived in paradise. :)

Big News; Bigger Belly

We have big news. Most of you probably know by now, but we haven't blogged in a while, so here is our blog-announcement: Sabrina and I are having a baby! She is 17 weeks along now, and doctors say everything is progressing nicely. We are finding out at the end of the month the baby's gender. Hopefully the summer will not be too hot, since that is when Sabrina will be at her most pregnant. The due date is mid-October (doctor says 9th or 13th).

She has been craving a lot of sweets and dill pickles, so I think that's a good sign.

Our dog, Buster, has been living up to his name. He is very active; never seems to stop running around and lookin' for trouble. He's a good little guy, though.

Work for me has been going well. We are a very busy firm, and have cases all over the upper peninsula, so I travel quite a bit.

Austyn has been enjoying Cub Scouting. He likes the kids in his den. He also is doing very well in school, according to his teacher at our parent-teacher conference.
