Family week 2014

This past week we had family in from Washington so that meant a full seven days of fun filled family time.  We had a Valentine family reunion for my grandma Flo’s 87th birthday at Wampler’s lake.  The family rented a cabin on the lake with a pontoon boat.  My cousin, Andre, was in with his two children, Daniel (6) and Anya (3), and the kids all played very well.  There was a trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn and a trip to Impression 5 hands-on museum in Lansing, and of course, lots and lots of swimming and boating and fishing.  Ajax caught four fish and Noomi caught her first (a little perch).  There were family dinners and relaxing and lots and lots of food.  I think Ajax and Daniel would have lived in the water and had great fun building sand castles.

On Friday, the kids and I headed back home to Williamston (Dave unfortunately couldn’t take the whole week off) and we had a very quiet and easy going Labor Day weekend, as Tuesday is Ajax’s first day of Kindergarten.  He keeps wavering between being excited and nervous.  It helps that on Wednesday night we all went to the school for an open house and saw his classroom and cubby and met his teacher, Mrs. Lewis.  I’m feeling pretty anxious, as if I’m heading off for my first day of school tomorrow.

Sorry about all the pictures – but I was worried that I’ve been lack with my posting and if I didn’t add them they would never be seen.
