no news is good news...

Well, I don't feel like I have much to write about these days. Brad is at Camp Redcloud this week with the middle schoolers from church. (He also has our camera.) We are looking forward to next week when we will leave for our "big trip." We will first drive to MI (I think that's about a 24 hour trip) and spend about 6 days there with my family. This is especially exciting because we haven't seen my brother and his family for almost three years! Isn't that crazy? Circumstances just have not allowed us to get together since we lived in CA and they were in Loma Linda for Anneke's heart transplant. So it's going to be absolutely wonderful to be able to spend time together and get to know my niece, Anneke, and nephew, Gideon.

After our time in MI we will drive to Sioux Center, IA, for a Bierma family reunion. This is going to be a blast, too! Brad's siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. will be together for the weekend. The aunts putting it together have been planning some great activities and I think it's going to be a phenomenal weekend.

Finally we will drive back to Colorado and spend some time with Brad's parents, siblings, nephews and nieces at the cabin and probably some time in Montrose at the parents' house. So I believe that within the span of about 10 days we will have seen the majority of both our extended families! Wow!

I will definitely have pictures to post after that trip, but till then I'm not sure if I'll have time or anything to write about!

For now you can enjoy Cora's 6 month pictures we had taken last week. She wasn't so sure about the big camera the photographer kept putting in front of her face so her smile faded each time a picture was snapped. They're still cute, but we didn't capture any of Cora's true smiles. Maybe next time.
