At 6 months, Jane is sitting up more (although she still prefers to stand) and spitting up less (some days we don't even use a bib!!!). And while teething has NOT been our favorite activity these past few weeks, those bottom two teeth are finally making an appearance. Yay, Janie!!
We just returned from a wonderful week with my family at Little Eden camp in northern Michigan-- the same camp where Jane's Great Grandpa Dave and Great Grandma Doris Jane met back in 1946. The Lehman family hasn't missed a year since.
We enjoyed gorgeous days on the beach...
sunsets over Lake Michigan...
cousin bonding (Jane and Bennet kept things exciting in the cabin with their screaming competitions)...
and lots of quality time with family.
Special thanks to Jane's Uncle LT for capturing the week in such beautiful photographs that I simply had to post them all... Way too many, I know, but I just couldn't decide.
A highlight for me was sibling date night-- a more recent tradition where Grandma Jan and Grandpa Dave keep all the grandkids while the four of us siblings/spouses have an evening out. This year it was especially generous & brave of them as there are now EIGHT grandkids (!!!) to watch, but they were willing and we were thankful, and we enjoyed a magical, unforgettable night at Arcadia Golf Course.
Ever since I can remember, Little Eden has been a highlight of each year for me, and I love that Jane will be able to grow up sharing in this family tradition too.
I know a picture is worth a thousand words (so we might be around 35,000 here...), but your words are so meaningful, Amanda Jane. I love love LOVE this post. ~Mom
