Muskegon, MI

Josh went on rotation at a state dental clinic in Muskegon, MI last week and the boys and I went along. Last week was Brand's Spring Break so it worked out great. The highlight of the week was definitely the motel's swimming pool. It was the warmest pool we have ever swam in, around 99 degrees. Brand, being the fish he is, loved every minute he spent in the water. He is becoming a really good swimmer. His favorite thing was throwing a weight in the deep end and diving down to retrieve it. Max loved jumping from the side of the pool into the water (and my arms of course).

I love Lake Michigan, the beach and water are beautiful.



Friday was the only day nice enough to spend outside, it was a very cold week even snowing one of the days. We found a great park with a hiking trail that looked down on the lake. Brand and Max had a great time exploring the woods and playing at the playground. Brand also got to ride his new scooter for the first time.

Hello

It's almost time! Time to pack-up our things, say goodbye to family and friends, and move across the ocean. Thank goodness we still have a few months to really enjoy our life here in Ann Arbor. We love it here! We have great friends, cheap movie theaters, delicious Indian restaurants, tons of fun parks, and many wonderful family memories. But we are excited to leave extremely cold winters and dental school behind us. We will spend the next 2-3 years in Okinawa, Japan with the Navy. Okinawa is often referred to as the Hawaii of Japan (we will let you know how true that is in a few months). We have heard only great things about Okinawa and are looking forward to our time there. The only downside is being so far from our family and friends, we are really going to miss you. So as we prepare for our next adventure starting a blog seemed like a great way to stay in-touch. So here we go...
