Earlier this summer, I shared our wishlist of what we'd like to do while the days are long and the weather is sizzling. I added it here again, it's gotten shorter because we have had the chance to do so much already!

Practically Perfect in Every Way
Lucie was born a week before Christmas and came home from the hospital a few days after Easter. Since both of these times of year have their rhythms that repeat through traditions, meals together, songs and even gifts, they always bring back floods of memories both scary and sweet that I'm grateful to reflect on...
Inhala, exhala, inhala, exhala.

What have you been up to this summer so far? What are you looking forward to still? We decided we wouldn’t take a summer vacation until late August this year, so that Rob could go full force with Huddle Up NYC in June and July. We’re definitely looking forward to our trip but we have also been excited about summer in the Big Apple...

Yorkville in Deckerville
For a couple of years now, we have been talking about going to Deckerville, Michigan where our friend Scott is from. It finally worked out to take a road trip with Scott, Katie, Richard and Jessa during the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. These are some of our best friends in NYC, they are like family and we are so blessed to share our lives with them. We definitely missed that Brett and Erin couldn't make it, so maybe we'll have to do a take two of this trip in the future!
We rented a mini-van and left NYC on Thursday evening, arriving in Deckerville by Friday Morning. Check out that cotton candy sunrise. Here are a couple shots of where we stayed. How lovely, right?
We had the best time getting to hang out with our gracious hosts, the
We shot guns, shot bows and arrows, hung out in the pool, played golf, went to Lake Huron, star gazed and visited the dairy farm that is adjacent to Scott's family's land, and used to be his family.

One of these is not like the other... Why am I eating my sandwich instead of corn? Hah!
I am so grateful for the time to just rest, to slow down, to appreciate having no agenda and to have a little respite from the hustle and bustle of NYC. It's always nice to get a away for a little while both to experience something new, and to appreciate the energy of the City when you get back! It was the absolute perfect farewell to summer!
