Michigan

We had a wonderful family vacation in Michigan in August with the rest of the Zenz clan and some dear friends. We love you all! Here are many, many photos chronicling our summertime adventures.
Get it, Brady.

Julie, H, and I are pretty excited about what's in front of us.

That's my girl.

The classic H stance.

Walking to the candy store up north

Sweet, comforting sister

H really trying to hold it together for the cousin photo shoot

Family!

Cousin Love
I cannot. stop. giggling.
H tries out her new walking feet. On a picnic table. And I took pictures of it. Oh, the third child.

So big!

And a little flair to end the show

The annual birthday celebration for M and E!

Walking as Primary Mode of Transportation: Check

August was H's month to seal the deal with walking. It's definitely a toddle, as evidenced in this little clip, but it qualifies as a walk. Cutie walker, we love you. Hold your head high in this world, baby girl. You are a child of the King!

Smarty Party!

We've kicked off Kindergarten at our house, where we enthusiastically refer to "school at home" as "Smarty Party." Mercy is SO excited. She is most focused on learning to write her lowercase letters in these early weeks of school, and she is totally rocking them. All three girls love our nature walks, calendar time, and goofy phonics songs. Here's to a lifelong love for learning!

Let's do this.

Oh. My. Goodness. I love this girl.

H was more interested in the birds than a photo shoot...

...so she went to check them out.

Checking the morning schedule

Organizing (mostly decorating) notebooks for the year

Ready to go!

Smoothie Girls

The girls get pretty giddy when A makes them his famous smoothies. Here they are, enjoying every bit of his latest yummy creation.

The Z girls: M (almost 5), E (3), and H (14 months)
