This post consists of photos. and captions. No particular order! enjoy =)
p.s. you DO want to keep going, because these are not on facebook. just fyi.
Playing pool at Doug and Sandy's. This was a posed picture. these boys seriously are amazing. it's not ever day you can get six boys ages 14-18 together and have them open up, play, love, cry, eat and joke around like these guys can. i love them =)
and because i know you're dying to find out... yes, that is a moose head. and yes, it was once alive. and yes, the man of the house did hunt it. and yes, he did have a moose-eating party for all his kin and friends. and no, i did not attend.
(l-r: seth, justin, david, anthony, petter, joey)
i never promised short captions =P
this is the double winding staircase in the front entry way of Doug and Sandy's house. Every time i go there, i resist the urge to go to the top and walk down, trailing my hand along the banister while scoping the party below like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.
maybe someday i'll just bring my hoop skirt along and do it!
Mmm I love Hermosa beach. This is the view from the pier. AMAZINGLY beautiful day. THIS is why I love california.
And this is why Michigan isn't so bad either =) amazing sunset on Big Pine Island Lake. Toodling about the lake in the pontoon boat with the family. (yes. toodling is a word.)
I was so glad I got to visit my awesome cousin Maria and her cute hubby, Jim. Turns out, DT grand rapids is pretty great at night. wonderful balmy weather, pretty lights, fun music in the park. I really enjoyed my time there!
Yes ladies...he IS single!
(Honestly, I think he was trying to fit cheetos in his mouth without breaking them? maybe? too bad we don't have pics of him feeding the dog cheetos from between his toes. never a dull moment. seriously).
trust me, its ten times better in the edited form. =) one thing i love about my brother Johnny is that while he can be grown up and responsible, he also is down for a crazy good time. Always full of laughs, funny faces, and inside jokes. definitely one of my favorite people, ever.
So this is my niece, Karlina. she is a girl in case there is any confusion (we've had that mix-up before). And Karlina loves peaches. Watch Karlina put the peach in her face and suck it mercilessly. (i could write a children's book about it like, See Spot Run. But Karlina, Peaches and mercilessly are all really big words for kids to read/understand.)
ANYWAY. the kid loves peaches. it was incredible to watch her devour them with her gummy mouth inhabited by only two teensy teeth.
Mmm...the view from the porch of the cottage overlooking the yard and the lake. beautiful. relaxing. peaceful.
awwww cuuute little family!
NOT.
This is John and Amy. They don't have kids. They have a puppy. But they sure look cute with kids! Hey guys. have a kid.
I love this picture. It's Gramzy and Karlina and a snoozing Papa. We were giving Mommy and Daddy a rest from the baby and we forgot a jacket. so we wrapped her in a huge blanket.
See. johnny can be somewhat normal. and they look just fine sans baby. (ok guys, you don't have to have kids. the puppykins works ok)
=)
Yeah. forget what I said about normal. They were legitimately doing this in the kitchen. Too many unanswered questions like: Is this a dance or a fight? Are they ninja's or knights? Does Joey's leg really need to be that high on the table? Was it posed or was it natural?
I'll let you decide =)
Well Now you get a glimpse into my life. even MORE so than you normally would!
thanks for reading. and looking.
adios.

fun times!
I think Jim hung Karlina upside down and discovered another tooth on the top...so that would be three teensy teeth. (that alliterates better on the vowel sound anyway) And why don't you have any pictures of her walking! Surely there are some of those around!?! She was darling! Ten months old and she just took off on her two feet (with three teensy teeth!) I have bragging rights!
