The Cup

Today the Stanley Cup was at Daley Plaza. I heard it on the radio, so I hopped on the red line to get some pictures. When I got there, the line to touch the cup was already closed, but I was able to get about 10 feet away. GO HAWKS!

Photo Attire Reminder

I just wanted to make sure everyone knows about the color choices for our family photo while at Blue Harbour in July. I know you are all excited about the colors I have chosen for you...but don't complain until you see the final results. If everyone could wear some sort of Khaki color on the bottom, and then these colors on top....

Gesch and Richards Families......Brown
DeVries and Vanderzee Families.....Green
VanDrunen and VanDyke Families...Blue

Mom and Dad....We have to get together and figure yours out. I will talk to you soon.

If possible, plain (no prints) clothes.

Please let me know if you have any questions or nice comments.

Favorite Recipes

Just wondering who is next to submit a recipe? The previous ones were great.

Hot Tub

We no longer are using our hot-tub. We enjoyed it and thought it would be good for dad's knees. Dr. Milton Smit informed us warm water did more harm than good. Soooooo - if anyone is interested in it - please let us know. The problem will be with transporting it.

Family T-Shirts! (Respond Please)

I've gathered from most of you that family shirts would be cool for the 55th celebration this July. I asked a local t-shirt company to make a design, and this is what they came up with. The top picture shows the front and back views, while the bottom gives you a detail of the graphics. I love them! I think the best way to go about it would be for each family to pay for their own set of t-shirts. They ballparked them at about $10 each (but there might be a little extra for tax). When I get the orders from each family, I can send it in and get an exact figure for you, which I will post at a later date.

Now where YOU come in. And this is for every family, so please respond or unfortunately I will have to track you down some other way. Two things:
1. Do you like them? Just because I like the graphics doesn't mean you have to! (Perhaps remove the phrase in orange writing from the front of the shirt to make it simpler? Let me know if you think something should change.)
2. Please let me know what to order for your family. This includes the number of shirts and their sizes.

I'm excited about these!

The moment you've all been waiting for...

After my fashion show in Kouts on Mother's Day, many times trying on dresses, and some alterations...I finally chose my Banquet dress! :) My Junior-Senior Banquet was last Friday...and I had soooo much fun! The Banquet was at the Serbian Hall in Lansing. After Banquet, my friends and I did a photo scavenger hunt around Lansing and Munster, then on Saturday went to the Dunes and camped for a night, spending many hours at the beach and climbing the dunes. But I know that you all really want to see the dress...so here is my pick :)



On our way to the Banquet, 2 of my friends and I decided to stop at some train tracks to take a couple of pictures...but there was a stopped train, so we did it anyway...and we think they turned out pretty cool :) (Me, Allie, Julianne)
