The twins arrive!!

Such exciting news!! Last night, on Oct 23, Whitney & Justin welcomed into this world two more precious little boys: Beau Baker Strange and Judd Albert Strange! Colt is such a proud big brother and Emmy is in awe of her new little cousins. As of tonight, Judd is still up in the NICU, but we got to hold Beau today! So here are a few pictures of us with Beau and we'll add more when we get to hold Judd too!!

Emmy stayed with my dad and Sherry and had a ball helping Papa in the field. Thank you Papa & Grandma!! And thank you Josh, for planning such a memorable weekend away for us. Happy Anniversary My Love!!

A beautiful hike in the woods....
that ended on the shore of Lake Michigan! 
Papa's little helper, just like I used to be :)

Holiday World 2015

This year we continued our tradition of traveling down to Holiday World with the Erwin's for Labor Day weekend. We had such a good time and Emmy just loved getting to play with the kids. She went up and down all the kiddie water slides, and every time she came down a slide she would say, "I wanna do that again!" She also was able to ride so many more rides this year including as you'll see below, the River Rapids! She also loved her visit with Santa and talked his ear off! :) Thank you Erwin family for such a great weekend together, we love you guys!
