It's seriously amazing how fast time is going. I couldn't believe it when I saw that the last post I did was a month ago! Nothing extraordinary has happened this month. We are healthy, happy, and grateful!

| Addie's halloween costume was this adorable cupcake outfit a friend gave to us. Even though she slept through all the Halloween festivities, I still wanted to put her in the outfit and get a picture of her. It's supercute! |

| She looks so big in this 5 month picture! |

| This is the fun stage where playing with her own feet is as good as any toy! She's mastered reaching, grabbing and holding on to toys...and toes. |
We had some really warm days here and there this month and the opportunism that is required when living in a northern climate takes over. For me a warm (or at least warmer than normal) day requires spending time outside. One Saturday I took the kids to explore the Blandford Nature Center. It was really fun and I was impressed with the size and variety of activities for us. We spent the afternoon walking the trails, playing in the creeks and on fallen trees, and admiring the animals in the wild animal sanctuary. We didn't even have time to explore the historic homestead site or the indoor nature center. We'll definitely be going back again!
Another place we just can't pass up is the beach! Especially if it's a nice (or nicer than normal) day. We just can't get enough of this place. This month we visited Saugatuck Dunes State Park where a short walk through a beautiful forest opens up to the grass covered sand dunes, beach and Lake Michigan. It was a warm 60 degrees and windy. We also explored PJ Hoffmaster State Park, near Muskegeon, on Thanksgiving Day, another unseasonably warm day, before joining my parents, uncle and aunt, grandparents and sister and brother-in-law for supper.
Thanks for visiting!
