We're Back!

We finally returned from our two week absence. The kids and I spent a week in Ohio visiting with family and friends to celebrate Grenna's 90th (WOWEE!) Birthday. It was great fun to see everyone, but also made me a little sad that we do not all live closer. My nieces are growing into beautiful young ladies and I am missing it. We're keeping our fingers crossed we will be stationed in either Houston or Detroit next so we can all be closer.

After our week in Ohio, Paul met us in Detroit and we flew down to Naples for some long overdue fun in the sun! What a grand trip we had! I did live in Naples for six years and Paul and I were married on Marco Island five years ago, but it felt like we never left. Naples is so gorgeous and I truly didn't appreciate its splendor until this trip. I guess we never realize what we have until it's gone. Many stories and photos of our trip to come in the following days. The best part of the vacation was coming home to sunny, warm skies in Traverse City! FINALLY!
