“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" ~Matthew 6:25-26

Mother's Day


Ever since we moved to Grand Rapids I’ve been telling Ben that we need to make a day trip to Rockford. I haven’t been there in years, but it’s one of my favorite towns in Michigan.

Yesterday we finally got the opportunity to do it! To celebrate Mother’s Day, we went to Rockford along with my sister and her family and my older brother, Chad.

We spent the afternoon walking through shops, and hanging out by the dam. The weather was gorgeous and it was nice to spend so much time outdoors. After spending the afternoon around town we had an early dinner at Grill One Eleven. It’s definitely one of my new favorites!

In other news, Liam has been walking like crazy now! He turned 10 months old on Saturday, and the same day he decided he’d rather walk everywhere than crawl. He’s loving his new found independence, and is usually giggling whenever he is walking! It’s so fun watching him!

Liam loves to walk everywhere!
 Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies I know! I'm thankful for each and every one of you!
