Macie May

We had the pleasure of house sitting for my sister-in-law's dog Macie for the past week. We are dog lovers but not a couple that has ever truly wanted one of our own because of how much work they tend to be. We like to have our own schedule and not feel tied down, but after having her for a week, it almost, I said almost, made us reconsider. We would rush home at lunch and home from work to be with her and almost found ourselves trying to go away separately so we wouldn't leave her alone. I almost had a tear today knowing she was leaving - wow - how unexpected. (Don't worry Elvis Geurink - no one could replace you though:)

Kolter Scott Rotman

On Tuesday, April 8, we were blessed with the news that little Kolter Scott Rotman was brought into this world at 6:56pm. He was born to my brother Bryan and his wife Daysha in Zeeland Hospital. He weighed 7lbs 3 oz and is 20 inches long. He is very healthy and a perfect mix of his sister Kennedy (3) and Kooper (1). We would like to give a shout-out to them for having 3 kids in 3 years and 4 days!!! It was so awesome to go to the hospital and see this little guy - he was so precious. It is weird how we viewed this birth a little differently because we are looking at it with fresh and curious eyes awaiting our upcoming pregnancy/birth. Daysha did so awesome and everything went so well and I really pray it is always that simple to pop a kid out! It is...right? The miracle of life is so beautiful and it was a gift to be able to welcome a new little "Kolt" into our family fold!
