Little ittity bitty Turtle

This little guys stayed with us for a week and then we put him back in the pond. I hope he grows up to be a big guy someday.

Maelani walk 2016

We had a short and sweet walk this year and then took off for Iowa. I was proud to have reached our goal again this year for the March of Dimes. Thank you everyone that helped us raise money. I know we are making a difference.

Love the lake

We had a wonderful week at the lake. Mostly, sunny mild days filled with ice cream, parks, sand, mushroom hunting and fishing. I love spending time with the family at the lake and watching my children enjoy a place that keeps my fond memories from younger days. I hope that one day they look back on these lake days with a happy heart,  like I look back on mine.
