Best Buddies!

Olivia and GiGi made Tess some homemade cupcakes for her birthday!
How big is Tessa? Soooo Big!

Olivia finally busted the pinata open!
Taking a good whack!
Deagan thought for sure he'd be the one to bust it open, but this thing was sealed shut!
Even miss tess took a few whacks at it, she thought it was hilarious to hit it!

Wine Tasting with Adam and Brynn

Adam and Brynn drove up for Jeff's race and to spend the weekend with us, since they were unable to attend Tessa's birthday party. Well the afternoon of the race, we were able to sneak away from the kids for two hours and do some local northern Michigan wine tasting. Jeff and I discovered Blackstar Farms a few years ago and simply fell in love with their Late Harvest Riesling. Mmmmm. Well we had never actually visited the vineyard, just a few minutes from his parent's house, and we decided today was a great day! We had THE BEST time!!!!!

The Bayshore Marathon- May 2010

A large part of our trip to Michigan was for Jeff to run in the Bayshore marathon. He's been training for a very long time to qualify to run in the Boston Marathon. On this day, all of the stars aligned and he finally was able to have his perfect race! Jeff not only achieved his goal- he SMASHED his goal. He needed to get a time of 3 hours and 6 minutes or less, and he came in at 2 hours and 57 minutes! Wow! It was amazing. breathtaking. tearful. A moment we will never forget:)
