For a long time I couldn’t catch Kaden’s smile on camera and his fake one looked painful. As you can see, he is getting more photogenic.
I may be biased being his mother, but I think my he has a beautiful smile!
The apartment they have been preparing for us is not yet ready. In the mean time we are living in a 400 square foot apartment that has two bedrooms, bathroom, sitting area, and kitchenette. Though it is small we are settled in and have made it our home.
We have also begun enjoying the benefits of living on campus. One benefit is all the space for Chesley to explore and ride his bike. Another great thing is that Karl walks to work every day now since it’s just a few buildings down from us. One thing that Denise in particular has enjoyed is our view. How great to be able to look out on the water from our front window!
Karl and his brother Jeff, had fun setting off fireworks. Then we made our way into Mason to watch the show they do every year at the Ingham County Fairgrounds.
Check out the pictures from the 2008 and 2007 fireworks! This is now the 6th year we have watched the them from our special parking spot where we can make a quick getaway without the traffic!
The day after the first emergency room visit I left for a 2 day / 1 night hike. We went along the Bruce Trail spending most of the hike along the Georgian Bay. It was absolutely beautiful! It was temperature was moderate but when you put a pack on your back and get down the trail you get hot really quick. Not to worry though, there was a wonderful cool breeze coming off the Bay that felt great. We also took a few breaks to jump in the water and really cool off (the water was ice cold)!
Part way into building week of Jungle Camp the men left for a 3 day/2 night hike. They went on the Bruce Trail along the Georgian Bay, braving the rattle snakes, bears, and the great outdoors. The guys packed in all their supplies including food, sleeping bags, and tents. Karl returned from the trip exhausted but with great memories he’ll never forget!
