a mixed bouquet...

Grand Rapids does this cool thing called ArtPrize every year...this year one of the entries was releasing thousands of those chinese lanterns over the city. We just happened to be walking out of dinner downtown right as they were released and it was so beautiful!!!!

 Ava drew this picture of Mark and I and explained that we were holding hands. :) Happy she knows we like each other! (And that I'm wearing sunglasses, obviously she thinks I'm cool, right??)

 The light up version.

Mark was Mr. Romney this year for Halloween. We got a few stares on our way down the road.

 The whole crew. (Minus one giraffe.)
