This is what we've been up to!

Finally!!! Pictures! We often go to the Humane Society to see the animals--it's usually with Dad when he's got the kids for the weekend but I go with sometimes, too. It's a great thing to do on a rainy or cold Sat. (And it's FREE!) Well, the girls have been begging for about a year to be a volunteer so we finally went to a training session and we are now official volunteers and we can in the cages with the dogs (not my favorite!) and get the nursery key and hold the kittens and the puppies. Now, I can totally handle that!! Here's Abbey in a cage with several kittens. It was a riot trying to get her out but keep the kittens in. At one point we had 4 people chasing kittens all over the room!

This is Jenny pretending to be a kitten! This is Kelly holding a cat. On this day, which was a Thursday, these animals really needed some human contact so they were very affectionate. It really says to me that they need volunteers to come in and just pet them. I'm not ready to take dogs for a walk but maybe someday!
We went to a wedding this weekend of Dave's cousin Lauren. Here's the happy couple. It was a beautiful wedding in Allendale and then the reception was in Grand Haven at the old Piano Factory.

This is the bride and her sisters and mom...these are all Dave's Cousin and Dave's Aunt Margaret.

Lisa and Victor were there, too so I grabbed their picture by the water.

And made them take a picture of us!!






Abbey's 5th grade class performed at the Color Cruise this past weekend. They played their recorders and sang. They did a beautiful job.

After they were done, they had some free time so this is where I found Abbey...with the bunnies:

She spent several hours there the next day with her friend Heather who had to work with the bunnies for 4H. Abbey loved it all!

Jenny went to the Color Cruise, too on Friday and she was in her friend Tess' group. They had a super fun time.

While these guys were checking out the beautiful fall colors, Kelly was working! She belongs to a group at school called STAND and they do service projects. Their service project was helping the PTA fundraiser Tailgate party. We hooked up with her later and had dinner there and then watched the Homecoming parade.

This is Kelly and her friend Sydney (you made it to the blog, Syd!!)

We've had a busy few days and I finally remembered our camera!!!
