Happy Memorial Day!

We spent Sunday at my parent's cottage in Glenn, MI on the lake. Madeline loved looking out off the bluff at the big lake and even waved at it! We had a yummy cook out and then relaxed listening to the waves crash in.

We remembered our four grandpas who fought in World War II, Grandpas Johnson, Chappa, VandenBosch and Nave. I look at those names and think of the heritage that we have in our family and the importance of teaching our daughter about the family that has come before her.

"For there was a time when every man was part of his mother, and (earlier still) part of his father as well, and when they were part of his grandparents. If you could see humanity spread out in time, as God sees it, it would look like one single growing thing--rather like a very complicated tree. Every individual would appear connected with every other." - C. S. Lewis
