almost there...

We had more visitors in August: my friend, Joy, and her family come to GR once a year for a few weeks. We always have such a good time!

Here we are waiting for their company at the downtown market:

Andrew may have a slight crush on this girl, Megan :)

Another day, we spent some time at Meijer Gardens.  Everyone is looking for fish or turtles in the pond below

Andrew's first day of preschool at Grand Rapids Christian Elementary.   We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful school just a few blocks away.  Andrew goes there 3 mornings a week, and most mornings we are even able to walk there.  So spoiled!

Andrew by his locker.  A few tears were shed by him and me soon after I took this picture :(

When Andrew is at school, I get some good one-on-one time with this sweet girl!
