Maya and I headed to Grand Rapids for a little family lovin'. It was a wonderful trip with lots of family QT time. It also happened to be a performing weekend for the Grand Rapids Ballet Company. They performed the Tempest and it was a fun show. David was a half naked drunk Jester (not a far stretch) and Nick was Ferdinand, the young love interest of Miranda. Laura and Chelsea were fairies and did a marvelous job with the fast movements.
Maya spent the week eating up the cousin attention. Nokomis and Althea were so sweet with her!
David moved back in the house to save money so he can possibly dance in Europe and brought along his cat, Zamil. Maya loved the cat and I spent the week sneezing and downing Benedril.
Joey and Chelsea quickly broke through the Maya shy curtain and found her squealing with laugher. YeYe was a done deal from his trip before and she even called out for him in the crib.
Nick and Laura get ready to spend Christmas in LA this year (yeah)!
David and Grandma Liz get ready for the many meals.
The early part of the week was perfect chilly fall weather and we walked around and enjoyed the last of the colors.
We even stopped by Uncle Jimmy's place for a quick hug.
As the weather turned snowy and cold, what better way to spend the evening than with Nokomis' famous hot chocolate.
We are going to miss the endless evenings of games...
the many family meals (my pants buttons are bursting)...
and just hope that the family will live through the long winter without us (we shall see)...

I want to be a Schultz, too! Your family is so lovely. Looks like you and Maya had the perfect time. It's amazing to see the strong Schultz genes in the whole brood! Anna
