Jason, Sydney and I moved back home to Muskegon 2 years ago to be closer to family and to be able to afford for me to stay home with Sydney. Jason travels a lot for work and it enables me to really be able to take care of her while he's gone - and living close to both sets of grandparents is pretty great too! We see them all the time and Sydney has a close day-to-day relationship with all of them, which is incredible. We lived in California for 14 years, which is where we got married and had Sydney, and though we really miss our friends there, we are so happy to be in Michigan!
We went to the beach at Hoffmaster State Park today with Misty, Caleb, Luke and Lilly, and my niece and nephew, Hope and Collin. It was a beautiful sunny day and the kids had a blast boogie-boarding and "surfing" the waves and playing in the sand. The seagulls were circling and hovering today which did NOT make me happy (I have a weird fear of birds) and one even landed on another lady's bag and tried to open a bag of chips (the audacity!!). We did have a great time and now Syd is down for a nap. Until next time....
