Saying goodbye to the 'Tour

Derek saying goodbye to his Contour. He's had her for a long time (10 years maybe?). We all took one more ride before selling her (we just went around the subdivision, hence no seatbelts or carseats).

Whitecaps Game

 We went to a West MichiganWhitecaps game with my dad. 
 Elijah didn't know what was going on but Abigail was excited!
 A perfect evening... for ice cream!

Our New Nephew!

 Welcome to the world Micah William Frederick Draeger! We can't wait to see what crazy business you and Elijah get into (and double-up to give Abigail a dose of her own big-sister/cousin medicine)!

A is for Abigail

Since it is MUCH easier to photograph one child at a time we took the opportunity to snap some of just Abbi since A was one of the letter we were using. I can't believe we have a three-year-old already!

Fathers Day letters

This year I tried to take photos of both kids with the letters D-A-D-D-Y for Derek's frame at work. It was much harder to get them both looking AND holding the letters the correct orientation, even with my mom's help! Here's a peek at the previous years' pictures.

Our Princess Turns Three

 A princess theme was the perfect choice for this year because Abigail is all about dressing up and changing again and again. Pink and purple seem to be her favorite colors right now too. 
 Notice how many different outfits she wears throughout the two parties. 




We wrote on the invitations to have the guests dress as princes/princesses or wear pink/purple. We also had a whole slew of dresses and accessories to offer the guests to wear when they arrived. 
 Everyone really got into the theme. It was cute and we just HAD to take group shots of everyone!

Elijah's Tree

 We planted a tree for Elijah just like Abigail's. His is much bigger to start with and it's a Sunset Maple, not a "General Lee" White Oak like hers.
