The belly
Well, I suppose it's about time to post a belly pic here. Over the past few weeks my pants have gotten pretty tight. I think it's safe to say I've got a little belly going. It's exciting to experience this change - a true outward sign that our little bean is growing :)

Travels & Treasures
We had such a nice time on our *little* road trip last week. Perfect weather for camping and hiking near the shore of Lake Superior. While in the UP, we stayed at Porcupine Mountains State Park in a secluded campground, on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior. We walked along the shore and found several chairs made from the large flat stones that littered the beach. The pic below is Steve relaxing on one of the stone chairs at sunset. So peaceful.
The next night we stayed at the cutest B&B in Au Train, MI. What a treat to sleep in a soft bed and be waited on by a gracious host. It was a quick drive from the B&B to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, where we hiked down to a beautiful, secluded beach. The water was cold and refreshing and the smooth rocks in the shallows were a rainbow of colors.
The trip culminated last weekend with the wedding of one of my very best friends. It was so nice to spend the day with friends and celebrating love. Fun, silliness, and shutter shades - what more can you ask for? Love you Melis.

Ah Friday! I am especially grateful for Friday this week, because tomorrow we will embark on an 'Epic' road trip. It's the wedding season in our lives and we've got 2 weddings the next 2 weekends (not to mention that wedding we went to last weekend). The first is in Minnesota and the second in Kentucky.
So how does one make their way from MN to KY you ask? Well, we think a most fun (although not exactly direct) route is through the U.P. of Michigan. So we will spend the next 9 days driving and camping and B&Bing and staying with loved ones, through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and back to Wisconsin again. This is a much needed vacation for both of us and we are really looking forward to the quiet and relaxing times as well as the fun party times. Should be a great trip and I hope to have some nice pics to share with you when we return.
FYI for the Hammons family KY crew: Steve and I will make a brief appearance at the Darpel family reunion next Sunday before we head back home. Hope we can see many of you there!
