My beautiful mother and Daniel.
Watching the carousal...
Better yet, RIDING the carousal.
Now is this cute, or what? My mother made these stockings for everyone.
Naomi stunned us all by successfully putting together this puzzle. It is composed of nine pieces and you have to match all the sides. That may sound easy but trust me, it isn't.
The older children made festive paper chains using Christmas wrapping paper. Daniel hung out in the high chair. He is sitting up quite well now though still needs support much of the time.
It really isn't possible to have too many pictures of Daniel looking adorable.
Here I am on the Lake Michigan seashore. My parents kindly kept the children for 2 days while Kevin and I went to Holland, Michigan for some "just the two of us" time. The beach was interesting but very, very cold.
If you look hard, you may see the sillouette of a very intrepid person. This person is wearing a wet or dry suit and has a surfboard and is about to go surfing. In December. In Lake Michigan. We were joking that he'd probably think better of it and perhaps he did, but a couple minutes after we took this pictures we saw 3 or 4 other surfers already in the water. So this is apparently a regular thing, for people to go surfing in Lake Michigan in the winter. Wow.
We like the ripples in sand.
7 children watching the Muppets at my parents' house.
8 sweeties in our big van.
On the way home, we passed an enormous wind turbine farm. We couldn't count them carefully, but estimate there weer at least 200 of these gigantic windmills. Most impressive. I want to look it up and find out if they are actually producing enough electricity to make them worthwhile.

Glad your Michigan trip went so well! Hope to see you some time when you come up here! By the way, we've seen surf-boarders in Superior! Talk about COLD!
