"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

the lakes

Nathan's sister Jenna was visiting a couple of weeks ago! She got to see her newest niece, and Mom and Dad M. took us to a lake house for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun! I wasn't sure about going since Daisy was only a week and a half old, but I had nothing to worry about. Daisy was perfect! And I was able to get more rest there than I would have at home! So thanks, mom and dad! Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of Jenna:( Sorry, sis! But here are a few pictures from our time at the Lakes.


Halle and I took a walk across the street to see the Lake



Kaine's favorite thing to do...soccer!

Nathan and Layla were on a team:) It is so cute...at home this is a favorite, too! Layla really seems to like it!



Layla is the life of the party! She is such a delight...always doing something funny or entertaining. She is a joy:)





And of course, so is Halle:) Here she is, washing Grandma Steffen's car with a super soaker!

And sweet little Daisy. I'm not sure who made her this little shelter on the couch, but it was really cute!

Everyone went over to Pokagon to a playground...except for Daisy and me. I stayed at the house to feed her and then I took a much needed nap! Here is a really cute picture of Gma with the 2 cuties:)

Mom and Kyle:)

Nathan managed to take a nap, too:) Holding Daisy will do that to you!

Thanks for the trip, mom and dad! It was lots of fun!

Poor Layla - having to be on Nathan's team - she will never win.
