Our Cancun Get-away...

After hemming and hawing, Joel and I decided to join Gritters, Kuipers and Bagnalls for a 5 day get-away to Riviera Maya, Cancun!  It was a hard decision financially but even more so about leaving the kids for so long!  Financially we determined that once we start paying for Christian Ed we will NEVER be able to do something like this so we mine as well do it now!  My parents agreed to watch the kids the whole time so that took care of that issue!  After 5 days of basking in the amazing sun, eating meals without interruption, sleeping in every morning and making some hilarious memories with great friends we confirmed we made the right decision!


My mom had a whole poster made for the kiddos to know what they would be doing every day and to count down the days to our arrival home!

Ready to fly out at the airport in Detroit.  Looking a little pale but not for long!

The view from our room...so beautiful!


The grounds on the resort.





 Hanging out on the beach our last day!



After we got home we learned that Parker was sick (throwing up) while we were gone!  My parents were so sweet to never tell us so we could enjoy ourselves!

9 months...

This was a BIG month for Peyton!

October 13...Peyton's dedication at Engedi!  All of our family and friends were present to support Peyton and our family on this exciting day!

October 15...On Joel's birthday Peyton started crawling!  It started out with just one little crawl forward but within a few days she was going every where!

October 25...Peyton pulls herself up on furniture and takes steps along it.  

October...Peyton is quite the character.  She now waves, gives high-fives and winks!  We are having so much fun interacting with her.

Fallin' in love with Fall...

Our favorite place to be in the Fall is hiking at Riley Trails.  Such a beautiful place to see the colors, enjoy the fresh air and spend some quality family time exploring the woods!
