Weekends at the lake with the fam...

We are definitely making use of our new home away from home! We recently got to go to the lake with our whole family. And as always, we had a ball. This trip in particular was special to me as I finally got in the water and regardless of the whole MD diagnosis, I rode (and rode and rode...) without any issues! This was a HUGE answer to prayer as I was fearing that I may not be strong enough to even get up anymore. So-PRAISE GOD!

I was going to put these pictures in order from start to finish...but it's just too much work...HA! So here are some pics and a few videos...in no particular order.

NO WAY! A fairly decent family pic!! YES!

With all the sun and fresh air, Bella SACKS OUT every night up at the lake. And if you know our little girl, you know she doesn't fall asleep in people's arms...so this was really fun for me. I relished just sitting there watching her sleep...she's SO DEAR!

Look at those rosy-cheeks...

Fishing off the swim deck at twilight...

Good morning sweetheart!!

Bathing suit baby! I cant stand how cute she is in a swim-suit! I just want to squeeze those chunky legs!

Again...too cute.

Dad all bundled up for an early morning run...

The "DHB" in all its glory...

Early morning on the top deck...

Finally getting in the water...and oh my gosh, was it COLD.

VICTORY!!!

Lauren, Rick and I heading out...

I call this video "Singing with Bella." This is a very regular occurrence in our home as Bella loves to "sing."

And along with her love of "singing," Bella also loves to "dance." I wonder where she gets THIS from? =)
