Oh Boy It Has Been A Long Time

Hello Everyone! It has been a VERY long time since the last blog post. I would guess it has been about a year. So much has happen in the last year which has made this one full post. There has been a summer filled with fun, school events for our nieces and nephews, baseball games, soccer games, cross country meets, band concerts, choir concerts, auction of our old house, dismantling of our old house, birthday parties, Christmas tree hunt, Christmas cookie bake, holiday get-togethers, the county fair, visits with out of town guests, a spring break in Florida and the finishing of our new house. WOW that is a lot of stuff!!!

BIG A$$ POST

It has been some time since the last blog post and this one is a big one.  The new house build is coming along and a lot has happened on that front.  We have been very busy with all sort of events including Christmas with our families, Sydney's volleyball, spending time with family from out of town, Andrew's band concert, Sydney's choir concert and middle school play" The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", Easter, Mother's Day, Adam's Cub Scout award program, Andrew's Boy Scout award program, Sydney's Soccer, Sydney's 8th Farewell Dance, Sam's 3rd Birthday and Memorial Day.  It has been a very busy few months.  This is a big blog post, Enjoy!   

Fall

This fall has been a busy one with our house project going on (see house post for pictures of the house project).  However besides the house project we enjoyed the last of the warm weather on the lake, went to the local fair with the Melchi's/Rozema's, watched Andrew run cross country and Sydney play soccer, attended a choir concert for Sydney and even spent a fun filled weekend in Nashville visiting the Fitch Family.  We also did our annual Christmas tree hunt over the Thanksgiving weekend with the Bird family.  It has been a fun filled fall and hopefully winter will not be coming any time soon.

House Is Coming Along

It has been some time since we posted pictures of how the house is coming along and a few of you have asked for updated pictures of the house project so we figured it was time to do a post.  The house is coming along but the weather here in Michigan has not been good to us but we are moving forward on the house project.  Enjoy the pictures!!!

Summer Fun

The summer of 2014 has been a busy one for the Baker's.  What we have been doing I'm not sure.  I know we have spent time with both of our families, time at the lake, taking in our nephews' baseball games, time in Chicago and had a wonderful Rosebud Quince Reunion the first part of August that saw 41 people at our house.  We have also been spending time working on the new Baker Bungalow.  I'm not sure where the summer has gone as now kids are back to school for another year and the lake has turned quiet.  But I do know it was a fun 2014 Summer.  Here are some pictures from the summer.  If you want to see pictures of the new Baker Bungalow there is another post for that and more to come.  I hope you all had a great summer!!!

We've got WOOD!!!!!

The builders have been busy the past week or two! First floor almost complete. Only a few issues popped up, but were quickly resolved. Enjoy the photos.
