That’s all, folks! After our last vacation in Traverse City for the summer of 2010, Leah and I feel rested but, as always, more than a little sad to leave it behind. This past trip was especially memorable, since we celebrated Sylvie’s first birthday while we were there! We were blessed enough to have family and friends around us, although of course we missed a few of you
. Sylvie had a ton of fun playing on the beach at Cathead (we’ll never forget how she made up her own sign for swimming
), and Leah and Walter enjoyed letting Momma-D, Grandma Lu, Grandad and Da keep an eye on Sylvie while they took a breather! Now we won’t be back until Christmas, and we’ll be facing a lot between now and then: a new semester for Walter, a new job for Leah and a new year of life for Sylvie! We look forward to sharing all of it with you as well as we can until we can be with family again in a few months.
